NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This L'Usine Sleepy Hollow Vineyard Pinot Noir is a ripe and opulent expression of this classic varietal.On the nose, aromas of black cherry, raspberry, and a hint of earthiness are complemented by hints of oak and spice. On the palate, this wine is generous with flavors of black cherry, raspberry, and plum, as well as nuances of dried herbs, black tea, and clove. The tannins are soft, finely grained, and balanced, providing a velvety texture and a long, pleasing finish. This is a delicious and well-structured Pinot Noir that will age gracefully.

ORIGINS
Winery: L'Usine
Region: Central Coast California
The Central Coast of California is a wine lover's paradise, boasting a wide variety of climates, soils, and grape varieties. Located between San Francisco and Los Angeles, the Central Coast spans from Monterey County in the north to Santa Barbara County in the south. With its diverse topography and Mediterranean climate, the Central Coast is home to some of the most renowned wineries in the United States.
The Central Coast has a long and storied history of winemaking, dating back to the mid-1800s. The first vineyards were planted in the Santa Clara Valley, and by the late 1800s, the region was producing some of the finest wines in the country. The region's reputation for quality wines was further solidified in the early 1989, when the Santa Clara Valley was declared among the first American Viticultural Area (AVA) in the United States.CUSTOMER RATING
