Tasting Notes: This bright, round, and tannic red represents the impossible: an excellent California Pinot Noir at an affordable price. The Folly of the Beast Pinot Noir was meticulously aged in 33% new French oak for 12 months, elevating its captivating notes of sweet spice and silky tannins. Try pairing this 100% Pinot Noir with pork, poultry and cheeses.

About the Label: This red takes its name from the great Moby Dick quote: "For there is no folly of the beast of the earth that is not infinitely outdone by the madness of men." It’s Amass' mission -- madness, if you will -- to consistently deliver great Pinot at an affordable price. To create this white whale of the wine world, Amass went to California’s Central Coast. The foggy mornings and cool evenings have a favorable effect on the Pinot Noir.

Sustainability & Freshness: Bag-in-box (BIB), cans, and kegs stand out as the most environmentally friendly options for enjoying wine, particularly for immediate consumption. Glass bottles represent nearly 50% of the wine industry’s carbon footprint according to several industry audits. Kegs, with their large volume capacity, play a role in minimizing packaging waste (glass bottles, corks, and labels). This results in a reduction in the number of shipments required, significantly lowering the overall carbon footprint associated with keg wine consumption. Kegs provide a sealed and inert environment, ensuring the wine’s freshness from the initial pour to the last, minimizing spoilage and reducing the need for additives or preservatives. Additionally, kegs are space-efficient, making them a practical choice for small bars and restaurants.
