WINE DESCRIPTION

Spell Weir Vineyard Pinot Noir is a sophisticated, balanced wine with depth and complexity, crafted from grapes grown on a south-facing hillside in Anderson Valley. The vineyard’s rocky, gravelly soils and elevations between 850 and 1,000 feet provide an ideal terroir for quality Pinot Noir, while cool ocean breezes moderate ripening, enhancing acidity and refinement. Aged for approximately 16 months in French oak (ca. 40% new), this Pinot Noir captures the elegance and distinctive character of its coastal-influenced vineyard.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

On the nose, this Pinot Noir offers a captivating bouquet of red berries, including ripe strawberries and cherries, intertwined with subtle floral notes of violet and rose petals.These delicate aromas are complemented by hints of earthiness, such as forest floor and truffle, adding depth and complexity to the wine. The palate of Spell Weir Vineyard Pinot Noir is a true delight, with a silky and velvety texture that coats the mouth. The flavors are harmonious and well-balanced, showcasing the ripe red fruit character of the nose. Juicy raspberry and black cherry flavors take center stage, accompanied by nuances of baking spices, such as cinnamon and clove. The wine's vibrant acidity adds freshness and liveliness, while the fine-grained tannins provide structure and a lingering finish.

ORIGINS

Winery: Spell

Region: North Coast California

The North Coast of California boasts some of the most renowned vineyards and wineries in the world. Located in the northern part of the state, the North Coast is home to the Napa Valley, Sonoma County, and Mendocino County, all of which are recognised for their exceptional wines. The North Coast of California has a long and storied history of winemaking, dating back to the mid-1800s. The region was first planted with vines by Spanish missionaries, who planted Mission grapes in the area. In the late 1800s, Italian immigrants began to settle in the region, bringing with them their own grape varieties and winemaking techniques. By the early 1900s, the North Coast had become a major wine-producing region, with many of the wineries still in operation today.
