BANSHEE PINOT NOIR 21

Founded in 2009 at a bar in the Dogpatch neighborhood of San Francisco by three young wine industry veterans who pooled their money to start producing cool climate Pinot Noir in the Sonoma Coast. 2019 acquired by FFW. The initial intent was to make wines that tasted like the best California had to offer, but were priced so that everyone could enjoy them. Developed strong relationships with the owners and growers of some of the best and most coveted vineyards in Sonoma, working with them to produce wines of depth, purity and balance. In 2013, the refreshing and relaxed Banshee tasting room opened in downtown Healdsburg in the heart of Sonoma County. Our main focus for Pinot Noir is on the cool, rugged, coastal areas of the far Western Sonoma Coast.

Tasting Notes:
An exciting, yet friendly wine, bursting at the seams with aromas of dried cherry, earthy peat moss and Redwood forest with notes of hyacinth, sandalwood and confectioners sugar. The flavors combine to create a fruit-driven front palate and very subtle oak influence. The finish is bright, with a nice pop of acidity and flavors of tart raspberry and bramble to create great weight for an excellent food wine, as well as a charming drinking experience by itself.
