Pozzan 2024 "Giapoza" Pinot Noir

Tasting Notes

The Pozzan family's wine roots go back to Piedmont in the late 1800s. Michael Pozzan's grandfather planted Zinfandel in Sonoma in 1948, and some of those vines still grow at the end of Pozzan Road in Healdsburg. Michael launched his own label in 1991 with just 200 cases, and today along with the help of his 2 sons and winemaker Molly Lippitt Lyman Pozzan makes a wide array of wine styles and pricepoints. Giapoza opens with an inviting perfume of rose petal and fresh raspberry, lifted by a bright twist of orange peel and a whisper of clove. On the palate, ripe red plum and raspberry lead into darker notes of black fig, with a dusting of cocoa. Ten months in French oak add a gentle frame of nutmeg and vanilla without covering the fruit. The texture is the star: broad, silky and supple, with soft tannins that make it easy to enjoy from the first sip to the last.
