This is the first Sonnet offering of the Gali Vineyard Pinot Noir, located in Corralitos near Watsonville. It is one of the coolest areas in the Santa Cruz Mountains and a source of many great pinots from that AVA. I am amazed at its great depth and complexity and look forward to making many more vintages from this wonderful vineyard. This first 2016 vintage, shows off its deep dark color, which leads to a wonderful mouthfilling structured wine. Black cherries and black berries are dominant, with subtle notes of oak spice and tobacco linger on the finish.
