About This Wine


Scriptina

Pinot Noir

Luscious and bold, the Scriptina 2016 Pinot Noir is an incredible find for the wine experts at Firstleaf. We can’t get enough of it here! Perfect for year-round drinking this Pinot Noir has vibrant red fruits with notes of cherry and herbs that linger in the finish. Aged in oak for hints of smokiness this wine is well rounded and ready for any occasion. Try busting it out at your next big dinner, and watch it become the talk of the party as everyone tries it.

REGION
There aren’t many wine regions in the world more diverse than California. The warm days and cool nights are perfect for producing concentrated and expressive grapes over the long growing season. With vineyards on the sea swept Central Coast; the mountainous, jagged terrain of Northern California; and the storied plots of Napa, winemakers can be exacting in choosing the specific climate and terroir they are looking for when making their wines. With nutrient rich soils and scores of different microclimates, California is a gift to ambitious winemakers.

TASTING NOTES
This lush Pinot Noir has classic notes of vibrant red fruits, bing cherry, and finishes with savory herbs, blueberry, and bramble.

Wine Region


California

California is one of the most diverse winegrowing regions in the world. Spanning 850 miles along North America's west coast—and inland across mountains and valleys—California's American Viticultural Areas (AVAs) cover a dizzying array of terroir. The cold, deep waters of the Pacific Ocean play a major role in cooling California's vineyards, sending fog and chilly air up to 100 miles inland. This tempers the daytime heat and allows grapes to ripen slowly but fully. Cooler-climate grape varieties thrive closest to the sea, while further inland, bigger, bolder wines prevail.
