2016 Furthermore Pinot Noir ‘Starbridge Vineyard’ Sonoma Coast

WSI94 When the famed Summa Vineyard which was planted in the town of Occidental on Taylor Lane in 1979 in was sold an acre and a half was retained by the original owners, Scott & Joan Zeller. Scott is the vineyard manager for Furthermore Wines and Furthermore now makes a Starbridge Vineyard Designate from that old block of Summa that the Zeller’s kept. This “true Sonoma Coast” Pinot Noir vineyard is exceptionally low yielding with just 1/2 ton of fruit produced by the acre and a half vineyard in 2015. The wine is an elegantly low alcohol delight at 13.1% and incredibly nuanced with beautiful aromatics. Its obvious why Littorai and Williams Selyem loved working with this vineyard over the past few decades.
