2020 Upwell Pinot Noir, North Coast, California, USA
A fresh and graceful Pinot Noir that only sees a small portion of oak influence, allowing the pure fruit tones to really shine through. The nose offers up delicate notes of candied black cherry, bright splashes of cranberry, and a kiss of black pepper.
ABOUT THIS WINE
Sourced primarily from vineyards throughout the North Coast including Mendocino. Fermented in stainless steel. Aging primarily in stainless steel with a small amount seeing some oak influence.
ABOUT THIS PRODUCER
Upwell is a collaboration between Eric Clemons of Coeur Wine Company and some of California’s most talented young winemakers. After years of noticing a lack of high-quality, affordably priced, and small production wines from California, Eric saw an opportunity to start a brand focusing on just that. The aim of Upwell is to over-deliver on value; one should be able to get a great bottle of wine from California for under $20. By both working directly with growers as well as sourcing finished wines from producers, Upwell is able to create great everyday wines made in small amounts.
