Free Shipping Jax Calesa Vineyard Pinot Noir Petaluma Gap Sonoma County 2022 - 750ml Tool [5PjpCGtu]

Named after its once pedestrian purpose, the vineyard was named "Calesa" meaning stagecoach in Spanish. Long ago this site, featuring expansive views of the Pacific, served as a resting stop for horse drawn carriages. Located in the newly minted Petaluma Gap AVA, Calesa vineyard sits in the "wind gap" or coastal mountain opening where direct coastal wind and cooler temperatures provide optimal growing conditions for Pinot Noir. The salty maritime wind and afternoon fog whisk in a chill that results in smaller grapes, thicker skins and a longer hang time. These factors nurture more concentrated flavor compounds.
