Its cool-climate character, low yields and maritime influence come together in a structured yet elegant wine, with vibrant fruit, pronounced mineral energy and impressive depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDeep ruby red with vivid purple reflections, this Pinot Noir opens with an expressive bouquet of dark red and black fruit, violet, lavender, sage and earthy mineral nuances. The palate is concentrated and beautifully structured, revealing layers of black and purple fruit, blood orange, liquorice, pine needle, black tea and clove. Firm mineral tension and ripe, polished tannins provide definition, while the finish is long, refined, energetic and exceptionally elegant.\n\nIts concentration, acidity and tannic structure suggest excellent ageing potential. The wine should develop added savoury and earthy complexity with time in bottle while retaining its freshness and precision.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePlatt Vineyard is located in the cool, maritime-influenced Sonoma Coast, where lean soils and naturally low yields encourage intense, mineral-driven fruit. The grapes were 100% destemmed but left whole, then fermented in open stainless-steel tanks. Following a five-day cold maceration, natural fermentation began on the seventh day at 25–28°C. Extraction was carefully managed with punch-downs and pump-overs tailored to each lot, with total skin contact lasting 14–16 days. Malolactic fermentation took place spontaneously in barrel, after which the wine was blended and bottled in December.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eServe lightly chilled at approximately 14–16°C to highlight the wine’s freshness and aromatic detail. It pairs beautifully with roast duck, game birds, grilled or roasted salmon, mushroom dishes, herb-crusted pork and dishes featuring earthy autumn vegetables. Decanting is not essential for serving now, but 30–60 minutes in a decanter can help the wine’s floral, mineral and savoury nuances unfold; older bottles should be handled gently and decanted briefly if sediment is present.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePlatt Vineyard is an iconic estate on the cool Sonoma Coast, known for Chardonnay and Pinot Noir with exceptional precision, tension and a strong sense of place.
