Vineyards:
The most profound contributing factor to the outstanding quality of our California Pinot Noir, and the integrity to its varietal, is the diversity of its sourcing. Because it is not relegated to a single county or growing region, we are given the opportunity to source from the best Pinot Noir regions throughout the state. From the warmer regions of the Central Coast, to the foggy cool valleys of our Northern Coast, each individual lot promotes the intense berry and spice flflavors quintessential to Pinot Noir.
Vintage:
Although we were met with several hurdles, from historic fifires to a global pandemic, we will forever recall the vintage to be one of resilience, perseverance, and unity. Shifts in temperature throughout the season resulted in shorter hangtime and lower yields, but the fruit retained bright acidity, resulting in lively wines. Our diligence in testing, coupled with a dedicated team proved key to navigating 2020. While quantity may be a bit lessened, quality will not.
Tasting Notes:
Vivid notes of candied cranberry, raspberry and dark cherry, with cola, toasted oak and earthy backbone with smooth tannins.
Pairing Suggestion:
Generous and fruit forward. Pairs perfectly with tangy pulled pork and buttermilk cornbread.
