Banshee Wines is a relatively new venture, but it didn't take long for it to make its mark. Established in 2009, its mission was to craft affordable wines with the complexity and quality of those found at the very top of the price scale. This was accomplished by cultivating relationships with growers who farmed the most coveted vineyard sites in the state.
Banshee quickly built its reputation with pinot noirs from the cool-climate Sonoma Coast but started to source fruit from Sonoma's warmer appellations so that it could expand its portfolio. Today's wine is their flagship pinot noir.
Plush and silky, the 2022 Banshee Pinot Noir has enticing red fruit aromas and coats the palate with flavors of strawberries and cherries, with subtle hints of baking spices, pomegranates, vanilla, caramel, and brambly earth, all unfolding layer by glorious layer. Moderate acidity adds balance, structure, and length - the finish goes on and ON!

"A nicely structured, nicely balanced wine, this is tangy and firm, offering black cherries, cinnamon, and dark plums braced by red cherry freshness. Very fresh, focused, and vibrant. Drink or hold." (1/26/24)
