Sunbreak Pinot Noir Marie Paule SOMLYAY - 2022 (750ml)

Made from destemmed fermentations using all six clones from the vineyard to showcase its terroir, this wine is the most fruit-driven of the three Pinot Noir styles we produce. “Scrumptious notes of crushed blueberries, red plum skin, sweet Blood orange pulp, lemon zest, and shades of wet earth are all present and beautifully combined. With a lovely finish with nicely present tannins and lemony acidity, I loved the candied rose petal note I got on the back of the palate.” (International Wine Report, 93pts.)

The six Pinot Noir Clones/Blocks are Pommard, Wadensvil and Dijon 114, 115, 667 and 777 clones.

Marie-Paule rocks the house with a brilliant combination of blazing acidity and fine-grained tannins. The wine's aromas bring back ice cream truck memories, with cherry popsicles - including the stick - and lemon ice reigning supreme. A tangy mouthfeel accompanies flavors like tart cherry, black tea, honey and lemon. — Michael Alberty
