Description

Dark reddish-purple colors in the glass. Sweet spicy nose with dark fruit and wilted rose. Rich flavors of raspberry, blueberry and classic Chalone minerality. Seamlessly integrated tannin with a long lingering finish. The real impetus for Fulcrum Wines is to produce wines that are in balance for discriminating consumers that believe, as we do, that more is not always better. Acid, tannin, alcohol, fruit expression, oak influence, age worthiness, and food friendliness are all key areas where we seek to strike the right balance. A fulcrum is a point of balance for a lever. Leveraging the best wine out of the finest grapes while maintaining a wines balance is a great metaphor for what Fulcrum is all about. But don’t all winemakers talk about this and claim their wines are balanced? Yes they do, and there are tremendously balanced and excellent wines that are made and enjoyed throughout the U.S., but it is not as common as one would hope. We see too many examples of 17% alcohol table wines, oaky Pinot Noir, flabby Chardonnay, and jammy fruit-driven wines that taste more like raisins than grapes. Our approach is to defy the trends and deliver on what we believe is the best way to make Pinot Noir and hope that we find others like you that want to enjoy the finest, most elegant Pinot Noir available.
