Region
The fog influenced Napa Valley is home to many of California’s premium wineries. This famous valley around the natural springs of Oakville, includes the thin strip of soil known as the Rutherford Bench where some of the state’s most highly prized vineyards are planted. It is where great Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay are grown and sublime Pinot Noirs from the southern Carneros end of the valley.
Producer
Hand Crafted Wines by the second generation of the Family from magnificent vineyards in the Arroyo Seco, and Carneros Appellations. The perfect pairing of cool-loving varietals and ideal terroir. This marriage of distinct soil type, clonal selection, elevation and microclimate produces outstanding fruit uniquely expressive of its growing region in their Burgundian style Chardonnays and Pinot Noir. Committed to sustainability and the crafting of fine wines.
Tasting Notes
A soft and decadent Pinot Noir with aromas and flavours of cherry, sage, ripe raspberries, and earthy notes. The wine spends 10 months in both French and American oak for a rich texture and lovely notes of oak. Elegant fresh fruit is lifted by its fresh acidity and balanced by a smooth medium body and lingering finish. Enjoy this delightful Pinot Noir now or save for up to seven years.
Food
Enjoy with hearty and richly flavoured dishes like paté, or a portobello burger.
