The Character
Tasting Notes There’s an appealing dark garnet color that immediately implies depth. The nose is upfront – fresh and bright. Flavors and aromas include stewed fruit, cherry cola, allspice, nutmeg, dried orange rind, and enoki mushrooms. The palate evolves to mild savory herbal notes with a faint kiss of toasty oak and mild earthiness. This is an approachable expression of Pinot Noir. Perfect when you’re watching “Sideways” or anything with Paul Giamatti in it.
Pairings Olive bread, wild salmon, goat cheese, seared duck breast
The Story
Los Primeros – meaning “the first” – honors the early winegrowing pioneers in California who planted vines along the coast. Today, those same areas, inland from the Pacific Ocean, produce California’s most sought after Pinot Noir grapes. Our vineyards stretch from the cool Sonoma Coast to the verdant valleys of Monterey and the ocean-influenced region of San Luis Obispo.
About La Follette
Brand Story
La Follette embraces the old-world concept of terroir: each individual vineyard site has a unique expression, that can be expressed through the wines made from grapes grown in that place. The winemaker's role is to create a wine that is transparent to the site, pure in its expression and enjoyable to drink. As they work with these sites, vintage after vintage, their understanding deepens and the wines become more reflective of that place, at that time. In producing distinctive site-driven Chardonnays & Pinot Noirs, La Follette partners with family-owned & farmed vineyards committed to maximizing the potential of their unique site, working with them to execute the viticultural directives that La Follette develops with them.
