Winemaker Notes
Fresh aromas of bay and sage balanced with cinnamon and allspice make up the bouquet. The front of the palate has tart acidity, which softens over time, while the back of the palate is filled with a lush fruitiness. You’ll also discover black cherry, ripe plum, and cranberry flavors before the lingering finish.

As early as the 1970s Carneros became known as a source of terrific Pinot Noir, and was one of the first California regions to gain such a reputation. The combination of sunny days, cooling fog and thin clay soils are tailor-made for the variety. Another factor in Pinot Noir’s prominent place here is vintners’ willingness to experiment widely. The history of the grape in Carneros is marked by continuous research into clonal variations, viticultural techniques and site selection. Careful evaluation over time has revealed a signature flavor profile as well. Complex aromas and flavors of cherry, red berry, spice, earth and cola appear time and again in Carneros Pinot Noir. To this day the appellation remains one of California’s standard bearers for the variety.
