Pinot noir 2022 Bread & butter (Bread & Butter)

Cellar for up to 6 years. No need to decant before serving. Located in Napa Valley, the Bread & Butter brand specialises in producing well-made California wines that encapsulate the Golden State’s relaxed attitude and sunny climate. Envisioned as simple pleasures to make every day a bit brighter, their delicious wines are made from classic California grape varieties like Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon which thrive in the warm conditions. They also produce this superb Pinot Noir which is made from top quality California fruit. Grapes are sourced from close to the Pacific Coast where the morning mists and fogs that roll in from the Pacific Ocean moderate the hot, sunny summer days. This helps to preserve freshness and aromatics in the finished wine. Before bottling the young wine is aged in French and American oak barrels to add polish and subtle hints of toast and woodsmoke. This fruit-forward Pinot is bursting with juicy dark berry notes including cassis, raspberry and dark cherries. On the palate there’s a medium body, refreshing acidity and rich dark fruit flavours which mingle with bay leaf, cedar and spice on the long finish. The easy-going flavour profile makes this a great wine to pair with dishes like barbecued meats, roasted lamb, charcuterie or even salmon.
