First Release Of This Pinot. Incredible Value.

Zonin, the largest privately-owned, vine-growing and winemaking company in Italy crafted their first wines in the U.S.

This wine is their first release and soirée into American wine, and they did it in a big way. We are the benefactors of a tight relationship with the family, and they offered this excess inventory that stalled because of Covid.

I thought the Pinot Noir was the best of the bunch of their new offerings....here is the 100 Nails Ranch Pinot Noir 2019, Central Coast. It balances "broad and rich" eastern-side Santa Maria fruit with "lean and bright" Monterey fruit. This wine has layered notes of violet, cherry, raspberry, a delicate hint of spice, and lush tannins.
