This offering is a vibrant ruby red color. Terra de Promissio always hits notes of red fruit reminiscent of red cherry, cranberry, and hints of pomegranate. The perfume is beguiling and lures the senses into further study which reveals notes of bergamot and hints of earthiness. Citrus flavors open on the palate and convey the red fruits and tea-like tannins. While already very well-rounded on the palate, this wine will benefit from mid-term aging.
2017 Terra De Promissio Vineyard Pinot Noir
Reviews
94 / Vinous
The 2017 Pinot Noir Terra de Promissio Vineyard is a wine of exquisite nuance. Bright and delineated, the 2017 shows the more understated side of the vintage off to great effect. Everything is in miniature in a Pinot that speaks with a quiet, reserved voice. And yet, it’s all there. Bright and vibrant, the 2017 will drink well for many years to come. A closing flourish of red-toned fruit and floral overtones add to the wine’s allure. A.G.

The palate is light to medium-bodied with lovely perfumed fruit, grainy tannins and juicy freshness, with a long, nuanced finish. 611 cases produced. Anticipated maturity: 2019 – 2028.
98 / Wine Enthusiast
Sultry aromas of rose and lavender carry the nose of this earthy, coastal wine. Flavors of wild raspberry, strawberry, blood orange and rhubarb weave around crisp, seamless acidity. Light in style, it is complex and beautiful. —V.B.
