Popelouchum Pinot Noir Exuberance San Benito County 2023 (750ml) *

Pinot Noir asks for a cooler home than most of California offers, and San Benito County, tucked inland from the Central Coast, gives this bottling from Popelouchum a place to hold onto freshness. The 2023 "Exuberance" is a red wine built on the grape's lighter frame, the sort of Pinot that leans on red fruit and lift rather than weight, with the bright acidity that keeps the variety food-friendly.
