2023 Delmore Deer Ridge Trail Vineyard Pinot Noir, Santa Cruz Mountains, USA
$54.00
From the steep, ocean-cooled Deer Ridge Trail Vineyard—thin sandstone and shale soils at elevation—Delmore ferments this Pinot with native yeasts and a meaningful portion of whole clusters before aging in neutral French oak. The 2023 vintage shows the site’s signature tension: bright red cherry and wild strawberry, savory spice from the stems, and a fine, coastal-mineral edge shaped by fog and diurnal swing. Silky, detailed tannins and lifted acidity drive a long, quietly powerful finish. A mountain-grown Pinot Noir that balances coastal energy with Delmore’s soulful, low-intervention touch.
