A Masterpiece of Art and Terroir

Introduction:

L’Usine Pinot Noir Santa Rita Hills 2018 is an exceptional expression of the Santa Rita Hills AVA, crafted by renowned winemaker Dave Phinney. The name “L’Usine,” meaning “The Factory” in French, is a tribute to the creative process and artistry that defines both winemaking and the world of art. This Pinot Noir is a celebration of balance, complexity, and the unique character of its terroir, making it a standout among California’s premium Pinot Noirs.

Tasting Notes:

This wine captivates with its alluring aromas of red cherry, raspberry, and cranberry, complemented by hints of rose petals, baking spices, and a touch of toasted oak. On the palate, it reveals layers of ripe strawberry, pomegranate, and plum, intertwined with subtle notes of clove and earthy undertones. The velvety texture, bright acidity, and well-integrated tannins lead to a long, elegant finish, leaving a lasting impression of finesse and depth.

Food Pairing:

L’Usine Pinot Noir Santa Rita Hills 2018 is a versatile companion to a variety of dishes. Its vibrant acidity and refined structure make it an excellent match for roasted duck, herb-crusted lamb chops, or grilled salmon. It also pairs beautifully with mushroom dishes, soft cheeses like brie or camembert, and even savory vegetarian dishes such as ratatouille or wild mushroom risotto.

Winemaking Process:

The grapes for this Pinot Noir are sourced from select vineyards in the Santa Rita Hills, an AVA renowned for its cool climate and marine influence. The region’s sandy soils and foggy mornings provide ideal conditions for growing Pinot Noir. Using meticulous winemaking techniques, including small-batch fermentation and aging in French oak barrels, the wine is crafted to highlight the purity of fruit and the unique characteristics of the terroir.

Aging Potential:

This wine is enjoyable upon release but has the structure and balance to age gracefully for 5-8 years. Over time, its flavors will evolve, and its silky tannins will further integrate, offering a more nuanced and complex experience.

About the Producer:

L’Usine is the brainchild of Dave Phinney, a visionary winemaker known for his innovative approach and commitment to quality. With L’Usine, Phinney combines his passion for winemaking with his appreciation for the creative arts. Each wine in the L’Usine portfolio is a testament to his dedication to crafting wines that are as expressive and thought-provoking as the art that inspires them.
