Pinot noir is a fickle grape and well worth the effort. It can be made into a transcendent wine with nuances that tickle your taste buds and expand your mind.
At Damiani we strive to create the ultimate Pinot Noir, often sacrificing quantity for quality.
And so it was with our 2017 and 2018 Pinot Noir. We dropped fruit (a vineyard technique where we "drop" or cut clusters of grapes in order to concentrate energy into the remaining clusters) and the result was fewer than 100 cases of this spectacular wine in those two years.
In those years where we don't make much of this wine, we allocate it to our Wine Club Members for them to enjoy.
In those years where the growing conditions are just right, well, we have just enough to release it to the wine-loving world.
Today, we are pleased to announce that our 2019 Pinot Noir is ready to be picked up or shipped! Add this rare wine to your collection.

"This dusky garnet Pinot Noir exudes aromas of mushroom-y beef broth, black pepper and deep, black cherries. Rich and sultry flavors of red currant, tart red and silky black cherries roll into notes of sage, cedar and buttercream umami. The finish is glorious and lingering with hints of portobello and graphite braced by structured yet elegant oak tannins. Pair with Coq au vin, Beef Wellington, game birds like duck or goose, or mushroom casseroles."
