  A tour de force of Pinot noir. Well structured, full bodied, balanced finish. Fulcrum makes awesome Pinot Noirs!

  A beautiful expression of this vineyard and the Pinot Noir varietal. Deep, dark beautiful fruit with nice ripe flavors. Black cherry, dark plum and blackberry notes. Great mouthfeel and weight and lasting finish. This is the wine I initially fell in love with from Fulcrum. Deliciousness!

  Very aromatic nose with floral emphasis. Ripe red fruit gains substance in the glass. Black cherry, sassafras, and spice predominate. Great mouthfeel and showcasing the best of this vineyard source. Very flavorful without a note of heaviness. Beautiful balance between deep flavor and finesse.

  One of our two Super Bowl wine selections- like the Patriots this one is a consistent winner. Sourced from one of my longstanding favorite vineyards and impressively crafted by Fulcrum you have a champion combination. Dark and savory fruit, not overly ripe but perfectly balanced and structured. Lovely Sonoma fruit flavors with dark plum, black cherry, blackberry. Some underlying earthiness adds dimension and complexity. Nice and persistent on the finish.
