2024 Sphaerics Superset Pinot Noir | Sonoma Coast, California 750ml

Planted on gentle rolling hills of Goldridge soil, the warmth of this site is balanced by foggy mornings and cooling afternoon breezes. This combination produces a wine with layers of complexity, polished tannins, and a distinct crystalline note. | Sphaerics

...Perfumed aromas of red and black cherries, wet river stones, potpourri, spice and forest floor. The palate is mid-weighted with finely tuned, salivating tannins and generous underlying power, carrying fruit and earth with a detailed finish. A very well-constructed pinot, delicious now and for many years to come... | 96 points, Ryan Montgomery for JamesSuckling.com

...emerges as a stunning maiden red release from the producer, showing a brilliant ruby center that softens to a bright magenta rim. Sourced from the Martinelli family's chilled Bondi and Frei Road Vineyards, this wine underwent a three-day cold soak followed by a 25-day maceration in stainless steel before resting for 15 months in 40% new French oak. A perfumed bouquet of mountain raspberry, wild strawberry, crushed violets, and damp earth unfurls gracefully against a backdrop of cloves and hints of Earl Grey tea and a smooch of white mushroom cap. The palate is medium-bodied and bright, shaped by fine-grained tannins and a vibrant streak of acidity that frames the layers of red plum and forest floor on a remarkably long, savory finish. 200 cases produced. | 95 points, Jeremy Young for International Wine Report
