Bodewell 2020 Pinot Noir Santa Lucia Highlands, California

Description

This exceptional wine is part of our Fine Wine Collection.

Winemaking As our region’s prized grape variety, we understand that Pinot Noir requires patience and a delicate touch in the winery. Gentle crushing and fermentation techniques ensure the wine receives enough contact with the skins to extract and emphasize this variety’s beloved characteristics. Generous oak contact and our winemaker’s careful monitoring throughout its journey allow this wine to achieve a beautiful balance of nuanced flavor and texture before entering the bottle.

Vintage Wind is our ever-present companion in the Santa Lucia Highlands, and the 2020 vintage was no different. After an early start in mid-February, the growing season was filled with blustery, sun-baked afternoons bookended by misty mornings and foggy nights. As ripening continues into late autumn, our Pinot Noir slowly develops its rich fruit flavors and elegant structure.
