Thesis, Pinot Noir, 2024

Did you know that Pinot Noir is one of the world's oldest grapes? It was being cultivated by Cistercian monks in France over 600 years ago. ​ The name Thesis pays homage to this long-standing history—a liquid argument that the best wines are a perfect balance of science and art. ​ This wine was born from the cool, morning mists of California’s Russian River Valley, the 2024 Thesis Pinot Noir is a masterclass in coastal elegance. This wine is study of patience. ​ While the varietal is famously nicknamed the "heartbreak grape" for its finicky nature, the 2024 vintage thrived, benefiting from a growing season that balanced sun-drenched afternoons with those signature chilly Pacific breezes. ​ The wine spent 9 months maturing in French oak. This gentle oaking doesn't overwhelm the fruit; instead, it provides a sturdy backbone of structural tannins and a sophisticated kiss of spice. ​ This pinot is truly fruity...ripe raspberries and black cherry, seasoned with an intriguing hint of damp earth and violet. The finish leads with toasted vanilla and ends with hints of clove. ​ Honestly, we could actually write Thesis on why you should try this wine, but the best thing we could say is try it for yourself!!!
