Belleau Wood Cellars Pinot Noir 2023 is a boutique single-vineyard Pinot Noir from the Sonoma Coast, created as a tribute to the legacy and service of the U.S. Marines in World War I. It is bottled at 13.68% ABV.
The fruit comes from a single property, Morris Ranch, on the rugged Sonoma Coast, where the cool 2023 harvest gave wines of fine structure and natural brightness.
The wine balances high-toned, tart red fruit with an expressive, savoury undercurrent, in the classic coastal style.
Named for the 1918 Battle of Belleau Wood, it is a meaningful gift for veterans, Marines and lovers of cool-climate Pinot Noir.
Good wine rewards a little care in serving. Whites and rosés show best chilled to around 45 to 50°F, while reds are at their most expressive slightly below room temperature, around 60 to 65°F. Opening the bottle and letting it breathe for a few minutes, or pouring it into a decanter, helps the aromas open up.
