The Dune and Mountian Pinot Noir comes from 2 vineyard sites, Coastview Vineyard which is a higher elevation (2400 feet) and the Olson Vineyard, which is situated at a lower elevation just a few miles from the center of Monterey Bay. The result is a stunning Pinot Noir ,with perfumed aromatics of strawberries, wild cherries, red currants and raspberries that all come together with fresh green herbs and floral scents to form the expressive nose. It goes on to reveal a wonderfully silky texture that coats the mid-palate leaving behind mouthwatering flavors of red currants, wild strawberries, and crushed stones which resonate through the pretty finish. This is a fantastic Pinot Noir from Big Basin that is absolutely delicious today and should continue to impress as it evolves over the course of the next decade.
