The L'Usine Annapolis Vineyard Pinot Noir 2018 is a bold and expressive wine that showcases the depth and complexity of Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir. Crafted by Dave Phinney, this wine reflects his dedication to pushing the boundaries of winemaking while maintaining elegance and finesse.

Deep ruby in color, this Pinot Noir opens with enticing aromas of black cherry, wild raspberry, and cranberry, layered with hints of rose petals, earth, and baking spice. The palate is rich and textured, featuring flavors of ripe red berries, dark chocolate, and a touch of vanilla. Silky tannins and bright acidity create a harmonious balance, leading to a long, lingering finish with subtle minerality.

This wine pairs beautifully with roasted duck, grilled salmon, or mushroom risotto. Its complexity and structure also complement aged cheeses and charcuterie, making it a versatile choice for refined dining experiences.

L'Usine, meaning "The Factory" in French, is Dave Phinneys homage to the artistry and craftsmanship of winemaking. Sourced from select vineyards along the California coast, LUsine Pinot Noirs are meticulously crafted to express both the uniqueness of their terroir and the creative spirit behind the label. The Annapolis Vineyard bottling captures the wild beauty of the Sonoma Coast, offering a Pinot Noir of remarkable depth and character.
