Prequ'ile (pronounced press-KEEL) is Creole for "almost an island".
Lovely Pinot Noir sourced from a few exceptional plots in Santa Barbara County (each is certified sustainable and practicing organic).
-fruit is picked at a low brix (resulting in wines of modest ABV for CA), spontaneous fermentations, high percentage of whole cluster inclusion, never more than 25% new oak, bottled unfined & unfiltered.
-a quick double decant (back into the bottle) is not a bad idea for this youthful bottle
Freshly picked raspberries, hints of earth and spice, invigorating mineral-edge to the lengthy finish. A new staff favorite!
