2022 Knuttel Family - Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast Bill's Hidden Track (750ml)

William Knuttel has spent nearly four decades blending wine in California, and Bill's Hidden Track Pinot Noir embodies his commitment to traditional Burgundian winemaking applied to Sonoma Coast fruit. The 2022 Knuttel Family Pinot Noir is produced from 100 percent Sonoma Coast grapes and crafted using classic Burgundian techniques rather than modern intervention. After fermentation, the wine aged eleven months in French oak—a relatively gentle regimen that builds structure and a touch of spice without masking the fruit's natural brightness.

The result is a Pinot Noir that leans toward freshness and immediacy, with a balance that lets the fruit shine while offering depth and polish from careful oak maturation.
