Winemaker Notes
An expressive Pinot Noir poised with charm and beauty, opens with vivid aromas of cherry, sweet plum and hints of cocoa. This medium-bodied wine has a plush mouthfeel with concentrated flavors of ripe raspberry, black cherry and subtle hints of oak. Smooth tannins create a seamless elegant texture with balanced acidity and a lingering finish.

A beautiful wine for the everyday marketplace, the 2013 La Merika Pinot Noir glides smoothly on the palate with enticing ripe fruit flavors. The wine's fruit-forward finish makes it a nice choice as a poolside aperitif. Give this wine a slight chill. (Tasted: April 27, 2017, San Francisco, CA)
The story of La Merika is based around an alleged voyage that Henry Sinclair made from Scotland to present- day america in the early 1400s, almost 100 years before Columbus made his voyage in 1492.
Theorists speculate that Sinclair discovered a royal archive under the temple mount in Jerusalem, stating that Phoenicians from Tyre, voyaged to a western continent following a star called La Merika.
La Merika Vineyards is located in Manteca, CA. The fruit for this wine comes from the finest vineyards of California's Central Coast, where the warm days and cool nights are tempered by the cool ocean breezes that once upon a time brought adventurers like you to this place of discovery.
