Tasting notes
Glistening magenta. A highly complex, expansive bouquet evokes fresh red and blue fruits, potpourri and exotic spices and a smoky mineral nuance emerges as the wine opens up. Silky and penetrating on the palate, offering appealingly sweet raspberry and boysenberry flavors that deliver a compelling blend of depth and vivacity. Supple, even tannins lend gentle grip to an impressively long finish that echoes the floral and berry notes.

The vineyard owner's boots adorn the label of this aromatic wine, which seduces with scents of rose petals and orange blossoms. The fruit and framing are delicate yet compelling, with wild raspberries and lacy acidity, while the tannins wrap up a lingering finish with chewy, firm flavors of herbs. Give this ample aeration and it really blossoms. Drink now to 2028. Paul Gregutt
The Pelos Sandberg Vineyard is carefully managed by Don Sandberg, as I have been captivated with this bottling since Brian Marcy first made this wine. The nose is beautifully perfumed, showing serious aromatic range from peat moss and smoke undertones to ripe strawberry to guava and pomegranate puree with citrus rind accents. These delightful scents bring you back to the glass for more. Showing a silky texture, this beautiful wine glides across the mid-palate. Elegant, yet jam-packed full of red fruit, citrus zest and earthy flavors, this Pinot Noir by Big Table Farm simply has it all. Irresistible now, this will cellar well for the next two decades.
