Amor Fati is the imprint of our most elevated and coveted wines. Marked by meticulous winemaking and exhibiting both vibrancy and tension, Amor Fati wines represent the finest from Tooth & Nail.
The 2021 vintage comes from a small vineyard at the southern end of the Santa Lucia Highlands AVA near the Arroyo Seco riverbed, where the Pinot Noir sits atop an east-facing hillside composed of shallow clay-silt soils. This is a classic orientation and soil profile for the AVA, which is cradled into ancient alluvial fans that are shielded from the late afternoon sun by the towering Santa Lucia Mountains. The southerly portion of the AVA is accentuated by warmer conditions while still benefiting from reliable Monterey Bay breezes, resulting in fruit that combines cool-climate finesse and vibrancy with richer fruit tones.
This 2021 Amor Fati Pinot Noir is a special selection from the Santa Lucia Highlands, one of California's essential terroirs for Pinot Noir. An exotic high-toned nose is flush with mulberry, forest floor, anise, cedar box, and sandalwood. The earthen sophistication continues on the palate with sleek red and black fruit flavors that reveal bright strawberry topnotes. Suggestions of eucalyptus and holiday spices bring lingering complexity to a silky, voluminous finish. A bravura rendition of Santa Lucia Highlands Pinot Noir.
2021 Amor Fati Murmur Vineyard Pinot Noir
"The 2021 Amor Fati Pinot Noir Murmur Vineyard, fermented in puncheons and matured 14 months in 10% new barrels, has a medium ruby-purple color and generous aromas of boysenberries and blueberries with accents of Earl Grey tea leaves, dried herbs and forest floor. The medium-bodied palate boasts a concentrated core of earthy fruits, fine, dusty tannins and energetic acidity that highlight detailed, spicy perfume on the long finish."
