Named after the esteemed winery and crafted by the talented winemaker Alice Warnecke Sutro, the Sutro Pinot Noir 2021 hails from the renowned Alexander Valley appellation. Nestled within the picturesque vineyards of the Warnecke Ranch, this low-production wine is a true gem, with only 136 cases produced. The vineyard itself boasts 100% Certified Sustainable practices, reflecting a commitment to environmental stewardship and the creation of exceptional wines.

With its roots firmly planted in the Pommard Clone, a Pinot Noir clone from the Burgundy region of France, this wine beautifully showcases the remarkable adaptability of the grape in the slightly warmer climate of Alexander Valley. The result is a wine that exudes elegance and finesse.

In the glass, the Sutro Pinot Noir 2021 displays a radiant ruby hue that entices the senses. The aromas dance gracefully, revealing wild summer raspberries, fresh cherries, and enticing plum jam. As the bouquet unfolds, delicate notes of vanilla bean emerge, harmonizing with subtle hints of cocoa and bergamot tea.

On the palate, this Pinot Noir offers a delightful journey of flavors. The juicy raspberries and cherries from the nose take center stage, supported by luscious plum jam. The experience is elevated by the presence of velvety smoothness and a luxurious, creamy texture that envelops the mouth. It’s akin to the sensation of slipping into silk pajamas after a relaxing, warm bath’”a truly indulgent experience.
