Wayfarer WF2 Pinot Noir 2020

Introduction

Wayfarer is Jayson Pahlmeyer’s powerhouse Pinot Noir project and a cult in the making, just down the road from Helen Turley’s Marcassin Vineyards. With 15 months in 45% new French Oak youll find heaps of bright strawberry jam, lilacs, and spice dancing across your nose.

Wayfarer WF2 wines are limited production, high quality and value driven. Fresh and vibrant yet richly textured, they capture the West Sonoma Coast in all its glory. The grapes were hand-picked in the cool of the night, then hand-sorted at the winery. The fruit was fermented in stainless steel tanks, with the same care and attention as the Wayfarer Estate Pinot Noir. The wine aged in 30% new French oak barrels for 10 months.

This vintage opens with aromas of vibrant dark fruit, blueberry and blackberry compote, subtle forest floor and savory earth. Delicious pomegranate enters the palate, at once refreshing, dense and powerful. Rich notes of dark chocolate round out the finish. Enjoy as the wine continues to open in the glass.
