The Crusher Pinot Noir

California, USA

Bold aromas of sweet morello cherry, dark chocolate and subtle pepper spice. This is smooth on the palate with juicy cranberry fruit and hints of smoky oak.

The Crusher Pinot Noir hails from California’s Clarksburg AVA, an area known for its cool evening breezes and long growing season. Aged in a mix of French oak and stainless steel, this wine offers bold New World fruit with a smooth, easy-drinking profile.

Aromas of ripe cherry, cola, and toasted vanilla. The palate is plush and juicy, with notes of strawberry jam, spice, and a hint of mocha, rounded out by soft tannins and a mellow finish.

Contains sulphites.

  • BBQ chicken or pulled pork
  • Roast beetroot and goat’s cheese salad
  • Grilled salmon
  • Cheddar and onion tart
  • Pepperoni pizza

Named in honour of the first winemaking step—crushing the grapes—The Crusher is a project focused on vineyard-specific wines from lesser-known Californian regions. The Clarksburg Pinot stands out for delivering generous flavour and texture, while still retaining the varietal’s signature softness.
