Lot 568
2023 Mendocino County Pinot Noir

$40/bottle under the original label

Lot 568 is a supremely elegant, yet concentrated Burgundian-style Pinot Noir sourced from estate vineyards in Potter and Ukiah Valleys. It hails from a small family-run winery that's been producing award-winning small-batch wines for over 50 years (they also produced our sold out Lot 443).

A glistening ruby on the pour, the bonafide Burgundian nose bursts forth with strawberry sauce, fresh foraged mushrooms, cinnamon spice, and rose petals. The Burgundian qualities carry into the terroir-driven palate, where deftly balanced acidity meets elegant minerality, with small, fresh tannins amidst earth tones, gunflint, and concentrated red berries. The finish is beautiful, unfurling with uplifted spice and vanilla florals before making way for cranberries and strawberries, then leaving with a subtle echo of delicate floral reverberations.
