Introduction:
The 2023 Lapis Luna Pinot Noir from California’s North Coast is a vibrant and fruit-driven expression of the varietal, offering ripe red fruit, silky tannins, and a smooth, easy-drinking profile. This wine captures the elegance and approachability of California Pinot Noir, making it a versatile choice for any occasion.

Terrior:
Sourced from vineyards in the North Coast AVA, where a mix of coastal influence, fog-cooled mornings, and well-draining soils create ideal conditions for growing balanced Pinot Noir. The region’s moderate climate helps retain acidity while allowing for full fruit ripeness, resulting in a wine with both freshness and depth.

Appearance:
Bright ruby red with slight garnet hues, reflecting vibrancy and youthful energy.

Nose:
Expressive and fruit-forward, with aromas of ripe strawberries, raspberries, and cherries, complemented by subtle floral hints, baking spice, and a touch of vanilla from oak aging.

Palate:
Medium-bodied with a silky, smooth mouthfeel. Juicy red fruit flavors of cranberry, cherry, and wild berries are balanced by soft tannins and refreshing acidity. Subtle notes of spice, toasted oak, and a hint of earthiness add complexity without overpowering the wine’s fruit-driven core.

Finish:
Clean and lingering, with bright red fruit and a gentle touch of spice.

Overall Impression:
A fresh, fruit-forward Pinot Noir that delivers elegance and approachability. Ideal for pairing with roasted poultry, grilled salmon, mushroom dishes, or soft cheeses. Best enjoyed in its youth to appreciate its vibrant character.
