‘Los Primeros,’ meaning the first, honors the early winegrowing pioneers in California who planted vines along the coast. Today, those same areas produce California’s most sought after Pinot Noir grapes. La Follette’s 2017 ‘Los Primeros’ Pinot Noir features grapes from as far north as Sonoma County to as far south as San Luis Obispo County, representing this entire coastline. Dark garnet in color, this Pinot Noir offers aromas and flavors of stewed fruit, cherry cola, allspice, nutmeg, dried orange rind, and enoki mushrooms. The palate evolves to mild savory herbal notes with a faint kiss of toasty oak and mild earthiness. Enjoy!
