“At long last, my Pinot Noir from the Santa Cruz Mountains is here. I dreamt of starting my Delmore wine project with Pinot Noir from these foggy mountains, but vineyard troubles held me back until 2021. Thanks to Prudy “The Grape Whisperer” Foxx, I was introduced to this steep, organic micro vineyard in the Corralitos zone, that just so happens to look exactly like my wine label. The resulting wine is an aromatic adventure, bursting with strawberries, roses, coastal redwood forest, roobois tea, and petrichor, with a bright, rich palate of cherries, 50/50 creamsicle bar, iced oatmeal cookies, and spice. These scents and tastes, with the gleaming red color in the glass, remind me of Pinot Noir from the Hirsch Vineyard, where my winemaking experience ratcheted up a notch. Only four barrels produced, all free run, never racked until the night before bottling, unfined/unfiltered, with low sulfite”- Darren Delmore
