Winemaker David Rossi's Pinot-centric label, built by cold-calling California's finest growers — small-lot, vineyard-designated bottlings from grand cru sites like Gap's Crown and Walala. The casual-elegant room sits just off the Sonoma Plaza; $35 buys five wines, and Rossi himself is often pouring.
Fulcrum is the Pinot-obsessed project of winemaker David Rossi, who founded it in 2005 by cold-calling California's top growers for a few rows of their best fruit. Years of earned trust later, his small-lot, vineyard-designated Pinots draw from grand cru-caliber sites — Gap's Crown, Brosseau, Walala, Wildcat Mountain. The casual-elegant room sits in the Sonoma Court Shops, just off the Plaza.
A tasting runs $35 for five wines, waived with a two-bottle purchase — a guided comparison of how each prized site expresses itself, with sister label Cloisonné in the mix. Rossi is often on hand; call ahead and he may pour for you himself. Dog-friendly, and reservations are encouraged.
