Mendocino County

Cork

From Steve Alden’s estate, Perli Vineyards, grown at 533 metres elevation, 15.3 kilometres from the Pacific coast, in the wilderness of southern Mendocino County. The wine is primarily Martini and 115 Pinot clones, aged in French oak. The Martini clone shows bright cherry and almost strawberry character, vivid and lifted, complemented in the 2024 vintage by savoury oak spice and smoky carpaccio notes, alongside dried sage and mint. The palate is more lush and full-bodied, finishing with smoky minerality and dark, loamy earth. The weight is underscored by fresh acid tension.
