Coup de Foudre Pinot Noir 2023 750ml

Coup de Foudre Pinot Noir 2023 is a premium California Pinot Noir showcasing the cooler-climate character of the Sonoma Coast.

Unlike the winery's Cabernet Sauvignon expressions, which are primarily associated with Napa Valley and Calistoga, the Pinot Noir is sourced from the cooler Sonoma Coast. The maritime influence of the region helps preserve freshness and acidity while allowing the grapes to develop elegant red-fruit and floral character.

The 2023 vintage presents a refined and aromatic profile centred on red cherry, raspberry, cranberry and wild berries, supported by delicate floral, earthy and spice nuances.

On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied and silky, with bright acidity, fine tannins and a smooth, persistent texture. Its freshness and elegance make it particularly versatile with food.

This is a sophisticated Pinot Noir suited to fine dining, seafood, poultry, duck, mushroom dishes and lighter meat preparations.
