Weather - Pinot Noir - 2020

Weather is the Sonoma Coast label from Napa's John Anthony Wine & Spirits, built to chase the best California micro-climates for Burgundian varieties. The 2020 Pinot Noir came from a vintage that budded early and ran roughly ten days ahead of 2019, with steady daytime heat and cool nights that pushed yields down but quality up. The result is an integrated, complex, well-balanced Sonoma Coast Pinot with real perfume. Good for anyone who wants California ripeness without losing Pinot's lift. Fuchsia in the glass. Bright cran-raspberry, rose petal and sea spray on the nose; rhubarb pie, blood orange and vanilla crema on the palate, with an undertone of black tea, tobacco and toffee brittle.
