Climat Frais SLO Pinot Noir 2024

Beautiful translucent ruby red. Medium bodied with medium acidity. Aromas of cool cherry pie filling, baking spice and earth. Leaning Burgundian on the nose. On the palate there is ample cherry and raspberry fruit. The fruit has a purity and sweetness to it that really show through. The texture and mouthfeel is wonderful. Lengthy finish completes a very solid package on this wine. Certified organic.

A pleasant outlier in the context of the Parr Collective is the 2024 Pinot Noir San Luis Obispo Coast from Climat Frais, which was vinified with longer macerations than in the Phelan Farm wines and matured in 50% new Taransaud barrels. It retains the dark, brooding character of the Pinot Noirs from this low-yielding vintage, presented here with a high-fidelity sheen and a comparatively lush profile relative to the other wines in the stable. The finish is underpinned by the focused, mineral-driven rudder that defines Parr’s work, lingering with floral and maritime overtones.
