Cork

The Pinot Hill West bottling is from Emeritus' second estate site on the Sonoma Coast. Its location in the Pacific fog channel means it only sees a few hours of direct sunlight each day and is subject to whipping coastal winds. The western blocks that make up this wine receive the most sunlight of any of the vines in this steep, coastal terroir. There is a real balance of coastal sauvage with the riper fruits from the late afternoon sunlight. Smoky cloves and mint frame a saline freshness and muddle blue fruit richness. The palate continues with a streak of seaspray minerality that lifts up riper cherry flesh, red plums and a persisitent smoky clove flavour lifted by bright saline minerality to the finish.
