Winemaker Notes
To create a true Carneros Pinot Noir with dark fruit, medium body and elegant tannins, it must remain true to the region and true to the grape variety
Vintage Notes
2021 was called a tale of two harvests. A relatively normal growing season began in March with strong vine growth throughout summer. Then, from August to mid-September it was intense and fast-paced. The rain in mid-September created a gap and sudden halt to harvest. The fruit that came in during the second round had beautiful mild weather in early October and lots of time to get to perfect ripeness. 2022 white wines showcase perfect acidity and freshness with remarkable flavors and textures, and red wines are displaying excellent structure with deep red colors, luxurious tannins and exquisite fruit-forward aromatics.
Vineyard Notes
Sourced from the rolling hillside vineyards of Carneros where the marine influence of the pacific ocean has a significant cooling effect.
