Its balance of bright fruit, savory complexity, and restrained oak reflects Matt and Alexis Iaconis’s aim to produce approachable wines while using Delta as a platform for environmental action.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Details:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOwners:\u003c\/strong\u003e Matt Iaconis and Alexis Iaconis\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWinemaker:\u003c\/strong\u003e Matt Iaconis\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWinemaking \u0026amp; Production:\u003c\/strong\u003e Elliot Davis\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrapes:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100% Pinot Noir\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVineyard Source:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cool-climate sites in Mendocino County\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFermentation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Native-yeast fermentation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAging:\u003c\/strong\u003e A combination of new and neutral barrels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 13.5%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCase Production:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2,000 cases\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSensory Description:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe nose opens with red cherry and cranberry, layered with lavender and rose petal. Dried mushroom and cedar introduce a savory, woodland character beneath the fruit. The palate is fresh and composed, with lively red-fruit acidity, a supple texture, and subtle barrel-derived structure. Floral tones return toward the finish, joined by gentle earth and cedar notes that add complexity without overwhelming the wine’s bright Pinot Noir character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWinemaker's Background:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDelta Wines for Change was created by Matt and Alexis Iaconis after several years building their Brick \u0026amp; Mortar winery. Matt studied viticulture and enology at the University of California, Davis, then gained winemaking experience in Australia, New Zealand, Italy, France, and California, including extended time studying Pinot Noir and Chardonnay in Burgundy. Alexis trained at the Culinary Institute of America, worked as a chef and sommelier, and earned the Advanced Sommelier Certificate from the Court of Master Sommeliers before moving into winery sales and management. Delta connects the couple’s winemaking work with their environmental commitments. The winery uses natural-yeast fermentation, limits its reliance on new oak, selects lighter glass bottles, and works to offset its operational carbon footprint. A portion of sales supports organizations including the Surfrider Foundation and Cool Effect, linking each release with projects focused on ocean protection and reducing carbon emissions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eServing Suggestions:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eServe slightly cool at 13 to 15 degrees Celsius in a Burgundy-style glass to emphasize the wine’s red-fruit aromatics, floral lift, and savory detail.
