Bodega Vineyard
Pinot Noir
Bodega is surrounded by redwoods, wild flowers, coastal oaks and a beautiful assortment of plant life and native grasses. Hailing from just behind Bodega bay near the town of Freestone this cool hillside site starts with an intense, ruby red color.
Aromas of wild strawberry, rose petals, coastal moss, and black raspberry lead to underlying notes of Moroccan mint and wet stone. On the palate the wine opens with bright acidity backed by youthful, fine grained tannins. Flavors of wild dark berries, and crushed stone lead to a wonderfully long finish.
