THE FEDERALIST PINOT NOIR 2022

The Federalist sources 100% Pinot Noir from one Central Coast California partner where warm days and cool breezy afternoons and nights create ideal growing conditions for this fruit-forward interpretation. Fermented 12 days in stainless steel tanks and pressed at dryness, then aged eight months in oak barrels with only 5% new wood at 14.8% alcohol. Cranberry, pomegranate, hibiscus, white pepper, graphite, and blood orange aromatics lead to bright Bing cherry on the palate with complex mouthfeel and generous finish—The Federalist's take on a California classic emphasizing dark fruit and accessibility for the modern American table.
