Current Releases
The 2023 Pinot Noirs are just being released now starting with our Sonoma vineyards. 2023 Was very different from 2022. The 2023 harvest was the coldest year we at Fulcrum have ever experienced in California. The result is a more elegant and complex Pinot Noir versus 2022. You see, the 2022 harvest was marked by a cool spring, warm summer temperatures followed by a heat spike during the first week of September. That heat spike brought on rapid ripening. Just the opposite in 2023, where it was cool during harvest and thus it streched out until November. All the 2023 wines are balanced, but still have to core of rich fruit that our style is characterised by. We used minimal-intervention winemaking practices, avoiding unnecessary additions or manipulation.These wines also have an extremely low levels of sulfur added. Our vineyards use sustainable and when possible organic farming practices. We hope you love them. We do!
