Why This Gift
A selection of small-production California Pinot Noir curated by Gold Medal Wine Club

About the Wine
Weatherborne 2012 Pinot Noir
Produced from the John Sebastiano Vineyard and Melville Vineyards, the Weatherborne 2012 Sta. Rita Hills Pinot Noir is an earthy, savory wine beautifully and accurately representing the terroir of this renowned Central Coast appellation. Winemaker and founder Cris Carter only makes one wine each year - the best wine he can make, using the most minimalist winemaking methods and sourcing grapes from among the region's finest vineyards. His 2012 bottling is especially significant, as it not only represents his first Weatherborne vintage, but it also earned some hefty press from top reviewers.
This 2012 Pinot Noir opens with aromas of raspberries, red currants, rhubarb, graphite and spice. The palate is bright and lively with notes of sweet fruit, dried fig, savory herbs, and anise leading into a soft and elegant finish.
Croix 2016 Pinot Noir Narrow Gauge
The Croix Estate 2016 "Narrow Gauge" Pinot Noir is a blend of select vineyards located throughout Sonoma's Russian River Valley. With access to several sites within the appellation, Kirk Venge felt compelled to create a wine that expresses the regional position in its entirety. This is a fuller, broader, and savory style of Pinot Noir with a complex nose of sweet tobacco, rose water, black cherries and allspice. The palate is exotic and expansive, yet focused, with tongue-curling acidity, a full body and a savory glide that finishes with substantial length. Croix's "Narrow Gauge" Pinot Noir was named to celebrate the historical significance of the narrow gauge railroad movement in the late 1870's - this revolution allowed rapid expansion of agricultural and industrial development, and it propelled Sonoma County to become the agricultural and winemaking powerhouse it is today.
Keller Estate 2016 Pinot Noir
Sourced from the La Cruz Vineyard, the 2016 Pinot Noir benefited from a season of normal annual rainfall, finally giving way to an awakening of vigor and growth. With a mild August, every block on the Estate received 10-20 extra days of phenolic ripening compared to the previous four years. "Our winemaking practices strive to gently guide our wines through our gravity feed cellar with minimal intervention." The wine was racked once at bottling after 10 months in barrel. Dark cherry and dried cranberry give way to a dense, mouth-watering minerality and fruit driven mid-palate with a long-lasting finish of elegant tannins.
Domaine Debray 2013 Pinot Noir Gevrey-Chamberin
This 2013 Pinot Noir from Domaine Debray comes from Gevrey-Chamberin, one of the wine villages of the Cote de Nuits in the Burgundy region of eastern France. The fruit for this wine was handpicked and carefully sorted to ensure only the best fruit made it into the final blend.
Classic in style, this Pinot Noir has a fruity bouquet and a round, powerful palate that will go particularly well with strong cheeses and roasted meats.
Solomon Hills 2014 Pinot Noir
Crafted from the esteemed Solomon Hills vineyard, the western-most site in the Santa Maria Valley, this 2014 Pinot Noir packs great energy and tremendous depth of flavors. On the nose, vibrant aromatics of fennel, cinnamon and blue fruits dominate, while hints of toasted oak, rhubarb, cranberry and roasted plum come through as the wine opens up. These notes carry though on the palate, with the addition of spicy fruit flavors and nuances of bay leaf, dried sage and roasted meat. Well-integrated acidity balances out these masculine flavors that linger on the long finish.
Bryter 2014 Pinot Noir Cadeau
The Bryter 2014 "Cadeau" Pinot Noir comes from the Sun Chase Vineyard on California's Sonoma Coast. Cadeau means 'gift' and perfectly suits this wine, which is truly a gift from nature. Dark ruby in color, this Pinot Noir offers powerful yet graceful aromas and flavors of lush blackberry, black cherry, black tea and spices. Its bold, ripe black cherry core is laced with complex layers of ripe juicy fruit, savory spice, and a hint of minerality. With an underlying foundation of mouth-watering acidity, the wine unfolds into a velvety finish with well integrated tannins and a seductive hint of sweet oak.
