- Low stock - 8 items left
ABOUT THE WINE
Stephen Vincent and his two business partners have combined decades of experience with working for household names such as Robert Mondavi, Louis Roederer & La Crema to create their own affordable but premium tasting wines. Stephen Vincent sources their fruit from some of the coolest pockets of the North Coast, which helps keep the alcohols in their wines low and maintain the refreshing acidity, but always delivering quality, reflecting the delicious qualities the Californian sun provides. Friarwood is proud to be the exclusive importer of these affordable gems from California.
TASTING NOTES
Sourced from some of the most famed regions for Pinot Noir, such as Russian River Valley and Sonoma County, this wine offers brilliant balance. Every sub-region was fermented individually, then married through blending. The wine shows the typical attractive notes of Pinot Noir, with mushrooms, tarragon, strawberry, sour cherry and raspberries, but with the slight ripe sunny edge of California. This Californian layer providing expressive pomegranate and mocha notes and soft, silky tannins, sets it apart from red Burgundy. Aged in 15% new French oak barriques for 13 months.
FOOD PAIRING
Guinea fowl, kidney & liver pie, haggis and are especially ideal for Sunday roast and a quintessential choice for the Thanksgiving table.
FRIARWOOD SAYS
Stephen Vincent offers some of the best quality-to-price ratio for any American wine which could be found in the UK.
