{"product_id":"mendocino-county-pinot-noir-2024","title":"Mendocino County Pinot Noir 2024","description":"\u003cp\u003eSITE\u003cbr\u003eA selection of premier Mendocino County vineyards were selected\u003cbr\u003efor this wine, with an emphasis on dry-farming, older vines, and\u003cbr\u003esustainable viticulture. Pinot Noir clones 115, 667, 777, 2A,\u003cbr\u003ePommard, Beaujolais, and Martini compose the blend. The goal\u003cbr\u003ewas to capture the unique character of this region defined by the\u003cbr\u003eproximate Pacific Ocean, coastal redwoods, and headwaters of\u003cbr\u003etwo major rivers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNOTES\u003cbr\u003eWe're gonna go on record and say it: this wine is ONE OF ONE.\u003cbr\u003eThere simply is not another Mendocino Pinot Noir being bottled\u003cbr\u003etoday that claims such a wide range of vineyard sources. This wine\u003cbr\u003espans the entire county from Potter Valley (interior) to Comptche (far\u003cbr\u003ecoast). As such, it may be the first time we can assess the true\u003cbr\u003e\"characteristics of place\" for Mendocino. Like the 2023 before it, the\u003cbr\u003e'24 installment is infused with an exciting new source in the heavily\u003cbr\u003eforested, near-coast hamlet of Comptche. The Comptche lots were\u003cbr\u003eblended with stalwarts from the Anderson Valley, The Cole Ranch,\u003cbr\u003eand the Potter Valley. The AV component adds characteristic purple\u003cbr\u003eberry\/red floral notes. The Cole Ranch piece contributes a pleasing\u003cbr\u003egrip\/structure. And the Potter Valley piece provides the high tones in\u003cbr\u003ethe wine, care of some rare Beaujolais-Clone Pinot Noir. We fel this\u003cbr\u003ewine from disparate but essentially Mendocino ranches blends out to\u003cbr\u003egive a wide aperture view of this wild, evergreen county, and make\u003cbr\u003ean authentic expression of Mendocino Pinot Noir.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e-LIOCO\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"LIOCO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45942672425013,"sku":"LIOCOpinot24","price":32.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0069\/4645\/5615\/files\/ED587BA6-DBF9-41E7-A48C-852D3E3D0557.jpg?v=1787953895","url":"https:\/\/domestiquewine.com\/products\/mendocino-county-pinot-noir-2024","provider":"Domestique Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
