Beautifully, clearly, a Carneros Pinot Noir. Spicy notes from the small percent of whole cluster fruit add complexity. The finish is light and bright. 

On the palate, more juicy raspberry and strawberry meet wisps of delicate smoke from the French oak barrels. Spicy notes from the small percent of whole cluster fruit add complexity. The finish is light and bright. 

Loads of fresh raspberries and cherries, light toasty oak, with hints of green peppercorn and dried herb. 

ABV 14.5%

Vintage 2018

Appellation Carneros, Napa Valley

Varietal Composition 100% Pinot Noir

A notoriously challenging variety, Pinot Noir prefers the foggy, wind-swept slopes of the Carneros region. The climate here helps to retain the aromatic complexity and bright acidity of the grape as flavor development advances. The renowned Rancho Carneros Vineyard in southeastern Carneros provided the fruit for this blend. The specific vines that gave us grapes for this wine are 45 year-old, head-trained, dry-farmed vines. Fruit from these vines produce a wine of singular depth and complexity.
