The Federalist Pinot Noir is a joy to sip on its own. It also pairs wonderfully with grilled meats, cheeses, charcuterie, and hearty salads.
The Pinot Noir grapes were harvested from Monterey and California’s Central Coast, making this the only wine in the series not from Lodi. The grapes underwent a 12-day fermentation in stainless steel tanks, followed by 8 months of aging in oak barrels, 5% of which were new. The wine embodies a fruit-forward, easy-drinking style at its best—yet remains structured and nuanced.
