Notes from the Winery/Importer
2023 Ampelos VIneyard Pinot Noir, Sta Rita Hills Light on its feet yet deeply expressive, this opens with a mix of wild strawberry and red raspberry, accented by black raspberry for depth. Fragrant herbs—evoking dried thyme and a touch of garrigue—add savory lift, while a subtle hint of leather lends quiet complexity. Fine-grained tannins and vibrant acidity carry the wine to a graceful, lingering finish.
Notes on the Producer
We believe the beauty of a wine is in how little it’s asked to change.
Fates' Lieutenant focuses on cool-climate, coastal vineyards—sites shaped by ocean influence and tended sustainably. These growing conditions, paired with natural farming practices, allow for complexity, clarity, and authentic expression of place.
We harvest at optimal ripeness to preserve vibrancy and balance, aiming for moderate alcohol and bright acidity.
In the cellar, we honor nature’s chemistry. Our approach emphasizes native yeast fermentation, gentle maceration, minimal sulfites, and no additives.
