The Federalist logo

The Federalist is a Californian wine brand of the Terlato Wine Group. The range includes Cabernet Sauvignon, Zinfandel, Chardonnay, and Pinot Noir, among others, with a style centered on ripe fruit, a full flavor, and an accessible structure. Privacy Notice Many wines come from Lodi, a major wine region in California. The Mediterranean climate combines warm, dry summers with cooling air from the Sacramento–San Joaquin Delta. The heat promotes the ripening of the grapes; the cooling Delta Breeze helps preserve freshness. According to the current producer sheet, the Pinot Noir comes from the Central Coast. Lodi Winegrape Commission In the cellar, different vineyard parcels are fermented separately so that their character is preserved and the winemaker can blend specifically. Oak aging plays an important role: according to the current sheet, the Cabernet Sauvignon ages for 15 months in oak, 35% of which is new. For the Chardonnay, malolactic fermentation and aging on the fine lees ensure a creamy texture.

This characterful Pinot Noir combines the ripe fruit expression of California with the elegance so typical of this grape variety. On the nose, it reveals aromas of cherries, cranberries, pomegranate and a subtle hint of blood orange. A touch of white pepper and delicate oak spices adds further complexity. On the palate, the wine is juicy, round and silky-smooth, with vibrant acidity, refined tannins and a pleasantly long finish.

Clear, ruby red color. Rich aromas of blackberries, blueberries, and plums. Lightly spicy undertone with hints of cinnamon and pepper. The 12 months of wood aging enhances that spiciness and adds hints of vanilla and cedar. Beautifully balanced and smooth finish.
