2016 Pinot Noir – Gali Vineyard

TASTING NOTES

This is the first Sonnet offering of the Gali Vineyard Pinot Noir, located in Corralitos near Watsonville. It is one of the coolest areas in the Santa Cruz Mountains and a source of many great pinots from that AVA. I am amazed at its great depth and complexity and look forward to making many more vintages from this wonderful vineyard. This first 2016 vintage, shows off its deep dark colour, which leads to a wonderful mouth-filling structured wine. Black cherries and black berries are dominant, with subtle notes of oak spice and tobacco linger on the finish.

This vintage is available for purchase at Silver Mountain Vineyard.
