Tasting Notes For Beau Vigne Widow’s Peak Pinot Noir 2023

The Petaluma Gap Sonoma Coast Widows Peak is one of the most exciting Pinot Noir’s Widow’s Peak has made to date. It boasts a deep, almost purplish-red hue that immediately captures the eye, hinting at its richness. The aroma is vibrant, offering notes of raspberry, cherry, and cranberry, intertwined with a subtle spice blend of clove and five-spice. Despite its density, the wine’s supple texture reflects careful craftsmanship, effortlessly integrating the influence of 50% new French oak. Remarkably elegant, it stands out for its purity and freshness.
Tons of energy in this wine, hugely aromatic with purple fruit, plum jam, a bit of dark cocoa powder, sweet herb and tons of bright, focused flavors. Finishes with a touch of clove spice and even a bit of orange citrus.
