The 30-acre site was planted in 2001 and is farmed organically with biodynamic inputs by Mike Sinor of Sinor-LaVallee. The sandstone soils range from solid rock outcroppings to sandy loam deposits, forcing vines to struggle and concentrate flavor at moderate sugar levels.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDunites sourced fruit here and handled it with a light hand: hand harvested with 30% whole clusters retained, fermented with native yeast and no added SO2, then basket pressed after a combination of gentle pumpovers and punchdowns. Malolactic conversion proceeded naturally. The wine aged 10 months in neutral French oak puncheon and barriques before bottling unfined and unfiltered with minimal SO2.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe result is a Pinot Noir that sits on the lighter, more aromatic end of the California spectrum. Raspberry, forest floor, and a distinct stem-driven spice mark the nose. On the palate it is juicy and silky with a mid-weight build and gentle tannins on the finish. The coastal proximity keeps acidity lively and alcohol restrained.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dunites","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36183670390936,"sku":"DUNIBASS19C","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0019\/3363\/9735\/products\/dunites-pinot-noir-bassi-natural-wine-primal-wine.jpg?v=1630818538","url":"https:\/\/primalwine.com\/products\/bassi-vnyrd-pinot-noir-dunites-natural-wine","provider":"Primal Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
