Origin: Anderson Valley, CA
ABV: 12.5%
USNW Classification: Natural, Certified Biodynamic
Varietal & Type: Pinot Noir (90% pommard 10% dijon)
Vintage: 2020
Fermented in stainless steel with native yeasts. Aged in neutral French oak for 8 months. 50% whole cluster, small amount of SO2 at bottling.
Tasting Notes: Crunchy, herbal and very heady for new world Pinot Noir. The wine is delicate while remaining serious - By aging in older, neutral oak barrels, the wine is able to develop tertiary elements that provide earth driven nuance that would otherwise be overwhelmed by new oak characteristics. The wine pairs very well with all things vegetables, poultry, and fish.
Winery
The approach to Catch & Release is simple. Source the best fruit possible and let it do the heavy lifting. They do not course correct in the cellar so fruit quality is paramount.
The wines are delicate - Less extraction, gentle pressing and a general philosophy that less is more. It’s all in the details.

Shipping Details
**DURING THE SUMMER MONTHS, WE HAVE AN UPGRADED, INSULATED SHIPPING MATERIAL TO PREVENT DAMAGING THE WINE IN TRANSIT. THIS INCREASES SHIPPING TO $30/ BOX TEMPORARILY UNTIL THE WEATHER COOLS DOWN. **
US Natural Wine ships once a week, every Wednesday. All orders should be placed by Tuesday at 10am in order to be picked up from our distributors and out on Wednesday's delivery truck.
Shipping cost is 18 bucks a box (up to 12 bottles) so we highly encourage picking up more than 1 bottle for the best value!
At $18, we have some of the most competitive shipping rates compared to other low-intervention wine e-commerce, which can range from $20-$25 a box. Ultimately, we eat the cost of shipping more often than not because wine can be damn heavy. As a small business, we are simply unable to offer free shipping. We can't thank you enough for your understanding!
