The Crusher, Pinot Noir 2019, Clarksburg California USA

The Crusher Pinot Noir is a bright, vivid red colour in the glass with layered aromas of black cherry, rhubarb, high-tone floral notes and subtle spiced smoke. This wine is giving and plush on the palate with juicy cranberry fruit, rose petal, black tea and melted chocolate flavours. The well-balanced wine has great purity of fruit, smooth tannins and nice acidity which leads to a flavourful and lengthy finish. The Crusher Pinot Noir was aged with 100% French oak (40% new) for 10 months giving a bigger oak presence and excellent integration. More than 110 years ago, the Sebastiani family embarked on a winemaking journey, setting down roots in Sonoma, California. With passion, hard work and decades of pioneering in the wine industry now under their belt, a mission to deliver varietally expressive, premium quality wines sourced from the Golden State’s finest regions was born—introducing The Crusher. Named for the first, most precious moments in the winemaking process when grapes meet “The Crusher” and begin their transformation into a food-friendly, approachable wine.
