DeLoach - Maboroshi Vineyard - Pinot Noir | Californian Red Wine

The Maboroshi Vineyard, nestled in the Sebastopol Hills 600 feet in elevation, is one of the first spots to clear from the morning fog as ridges to the west shelter the site from any lingering marine layer. Whole berries were fermented in small open-top oak vats with hand punch downs, then basket pressed to barrel for secondary fermentation on the lees. The wine was aged for 15 months in 35% new French oak before being bottled.

Our 2014 Maboroshi Pinot Noir offers delightful red fruit aromatics with hints of citrus and sandalwood. Ruby red in the glass, flavors of strawberry, raspberry and black cardamom lead to hints of plum skin with a touch of orange zest. Rich and spreading with medium plus body and a lengthy finish, the fine grained tannins are balanced with bright acidity, making it a perfect pairing with cherry glazed duck breast or mushroom risotto.
