Pellegrini Olivet Lane Vineyard Pinot Noir 2015

This wine’s aromatic complexity and fruit flavor density belie its structural delicacy. Intricate aromas of dark cherry compote and macerated strawberries are generously spiced with allspice, cinnamon and nutmeg.

Vivid, concentrated flavors lead with black cherry, pomegranate, espresso, and chocolate, trailed by bright and persistent cherry cola and savory bacon. The refined mouthfeel shows splendid silkiness and creamy richness across the palate, precise acidity and superb length.

The Pellegrini Family traces its heritage in winemaking to the early 1900s when brothers Nello and Gino Pellegrini arrived in New York City from their native Tuscany. They soon made their way to the West Coast and in 1925 became Sonoma County grape merchants, shipping grapes throughout the U.S. for home winemaking. In 1933 after repeal of Prohibition, the brothers established the original Pellegrini Wine Company, shipping grapes from Sonoma County and producing quality wines for many of San Francisco's finest shops and restaurants.
