WINE DESCRIPTION
Golden West Vineyard's "The Promise" Pinot Noir stands as a profound expression of Washington State's winemaking potential, particularly from its lesser-known regions. Tucked away in the diverse microclimates of the state, Golden West Vineyard is a beacon of dedication to sustainable viticulture and precision winemaking. "The Promise" is an ode to the vineyard's commitment to unveiling the nuanced elegance of Pinot Noir in a region predominantly celebrated for its bold reds. Through meticulous vineyard management and artisanal winemaking, "The Promise" encapsulates the best of both worlds: New World fruit intensity coupled with Old World elegance and finesse.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
Golden West's "The Promise" Pinot Noir pours into the glass with a graceful, ruby-red translucence.The aromatic profile entices with fragrances of ripe red cherries, wild strawberries, and a touch of rose petal, intermingled with hints of forest floor and subtle spice. The palate is seduced by layers of vibrant red fruit flavors, underlined by delicate tannins and a bright, lively acidity. Nuances of clove and a whisper of smoke add complexity to this medium-bodied wine. The finish is elegant and lingering, replete with red fruit and a touch of mineral undertones. A beautifully crafted Pinot Noir, fulfilling its "promise" of excellence.
