2025 Outward Bassi Vineyard Pinot Noir, San Luis Obispo County, USA
$48.00
Located just 1.2 miles from the cold Pacific, Bassi is the most coastal site we source. The vineyard is biodynamically farmed by some of our very best friends, Mikey & Gina Giugni.
The Dijon clone 115 Pinot from this block is planted on a southwest-facing hillside in sandstone soils and is exposed to the cool wind and fog from the Pacific.
Upon harvest, we fermented with 20% whole cluster inclusion before aging in neutral French oak barrels for 10 months.
This Pinot delivers a delightful balance of fruit and earth—offering a varietal expression with broad appeal.
tasting notes: black cherry, fresh fig, raspberry compote, all-spice
