On the Central Coast of California, the vines of Fossil Point are never far from the influence of the sea. Sunny afternoons give way to cool marine breezes, and the growing season is directly shaped by the seasonal flow of the currents and surface temperature of the nearby Pacific Ocean. The vines take root in coarse sand, calcareous shale, and fossilized oyster beds - all remnants of the ancient sea floor. Fossil Point pays tribute to this bond between sea and vine. All of their estate vineyards are farmed sustainably.
Fossil Point's Edna Valley Pinot Noir is all hand-harvested and fermented in small lots, then aged in neutral and once used French oak barrels. The wine is vibrant and intense, with black cherry fruit flavors combined with subtle notes of leather and vanilla. On the palate, there is great concentration and depth of flavor which make this wine an ideal pairing with duck, pork-belly or even rich, savory fish dishes.
