This Pinot Noir is sourced from estate vineyards on the Sonoma Coast. Fermented in stainless steel and aged for 10 months in approximately 30% new French oak, this wine is rich and layered, with notes of cherry, espresso bean, clove, and blood orange. Velvety tannins frame an intensely flavourful mid-palate, making this one of the best-value Pinot Noirs of the vintage. With pure fruit, excellent tension and energy, and satisfying concentration, this is a wine to enjoy alongside a meal, delivering both complexity and approachability.
