MacRostie - Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir 2014

MacRostie - Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir 2014

The eight-hectare Pascal Jolivet estate was created in 1987

archive wines

the wine was made from Lambrusco

Together they have carefully and meticulously grown Benjamin Bridge from a micro-boutique project into a dedicated and world renown sparkling wine house

result in a wine that is fresh

And taking care of the soil is fundamental for the long term

so the resulting wines ultimately come at 1 to 2% less alcohol (sometimes even more like the 2011 vintage) than their Rhône valley/California/Australia counterparts

In the winery they use old French Oak (not expensive) and have very little in the way of technology (still use basket presses)

It leads the market in premium sales

the winery starting using screwcaps for its aromatic wines in order to keep their wines fresh and free from oxidation

Fonseca Guimaraens can still be thought of as a family wine shipper since David Guimaraens

The red wines are Sangiovese-based blended with local varietals such as Massareta
