Presquiile Pinot Noir

Presqu’ile Pinot Noir 2023, hailing from Presqu’ile Winery in the cool-climate Santa Maria Valley of Santa Barbara County, is crafted with sustainably farmed fruit from estate blocks and other select vineyards across the region. This is the Santa Barbara County bottling—a blend that highlights the winemaker’s mission for purity, elegance, and terroir expression, all made with a minimalist cellar approach 

Tasting Notes
This is a light- to mid-weight Pinot Noir that’s both playful and grounded. On the nose, you’ll find ripe Bing cherries, dried orange rind, rose hips, and sandalwood giving it an earthy, fragrant lift. The palate continues that dual vibe of fruit and earth—expect juicy cherry and raspberry, bright dried citrus, hints of graham-cracker spice, and a rhythmic rustiness lifted by juicy acidity and smooth tannins 

Food Pairings
This Pinot Noir is a fantastic match for grilled salmon or cedar plank trout—its cherry brightness and spice keep things lively without overwhelming the fish. For something cheeky and fun, serve it with a Thanksgiving-style turkey sandwich—cranberry chutney, roasted turkey, and melted cheese on ciabatta—and let that fruity-earthy combo sing.
