2022 Devil's Fog Pinot Noir
Out of Stock - Stay tuned for the next vintage!
The fourth release of Devil’s Fog Lodi Pinot Noir is intense and full of mouth-filling celestial flavors. The scent wafts of spices, cherries and strawberries. A sip guides you into fleshy flavors of black cherries, raspberries and blueberries that twist and twirl with vanilla and cloves. The finish is full and has a gratifying earthiness. The blend includes Pinot Noir, Petite Sirah, Zinfandel and a touch of Rubired. Petite Sirah, aged 10 months in older French oak barrels delivers a mouthfeel that is divine. Zinfandel adds some California spice and Rubired adds a fleshiness that helps complement the final blend.

Vineyard Notes
The United States is the second largest grower of Pinot Noir in the world. This complicated and finicky grape is selective as to where it grows best. Our vineyard sites are carefully selected based on the climate, the soil and the topography. In this case, the primary vineyard, the Thornton Ranch site in Lodi was the chosen one. Located in the Lodi sub-AVA Jahant which benefits from the nightly and cool Pacific Ocean breezes that wind through the Delta river. It is along these riverbeds, the tule fog has the highest density. It can be damp and bone chilling simply walking through these vineyards.
