Pork chops with sage butter on a weeknight, when the good bottle shouldn't wait for a better occasion. Pour it a little cool — fresh, savory, supple.

THE STORY

About this wine

Light-bodied, high-acid California Pinot Noir from certified-organic vineyards in Lake County and Mendocino County — dark cherry, plum, and dried sage first, then black strawberry, raspberry, and blood orange, finishing dry, supple, and savory.

Outlier Wine Co. is part of the Trinchero Family Wine & Spirits portfolio and focuses on Pinot Noir from California’s Lake and Mendocino Counties. Winemaker Derek Rohlffs emphasizes organic farming, sustainable winemaking and minimal intervention. The 2023 release is the winery’s second vintage, following the 2022 debut.

Worth knowing

The 2023 widened the map. Outlier reached past its Lake County source to add CCOF-certified City Vineyard in Mendocino County, planted to heritage Pommard — so Dijon-clone and heritage-Pommard fruit now share one certified-organic blend.

CHARACTERISTICS AND TASTING TIPS OF THE Outlier Pinot Noir 2023

Tasting

Color: Brilliant ruby red in the glass.
Nose: Dark cherry and plum lead, orange marmalade right behind, dried sage and chaparral underneath. From there it unfolds in layers — potpourri, cherry blossom, cranberry, forest floor, mint, and truffle.
Palate: Light on its feet, lively acidity doing the work. Black strawberry, raspberry, and black cherry open it, blackberry and blood orange follow, and clove, mineral, vanilla-cream, iron, and mocha run through the middle.
