Pinot Noir Carneros (375ml)

Vineyards

We source our Carneros Pinot Noir from the Durell and Sangiacomo Vineyards, both situated in the cool Carneros region of Napa and Sonoma Counties adjacent to the San Francisco/San Pablo Bay. Considered by many to be the home of the best American Pinot, Carneros’  masking fog and cool breezes throughout most of the growing season allow for the hang time needed to develop the flavors of exceptional Pinot Noir. These grapes saw maximum hang time and the wine exhibits classic Pinot Noir weight and body. Enjoy now or lay it down for a few years to add a little bottle age. It’s a treat whenever you choose to drink it.

Winemaking

Our approach for Carneros Pinot Noir has always been to produce a classically-styled “Pinot-lover’s Pinot”, with moderate oak, high-tone fruit flavors, a rich nose, juicy palate and long finish. After fermentation the wine is aged for nine months in a combination of French, Oregon and Hungarian barrels.  Because of the popularity of this wine, we bottle it in both 750 and 375 ml bottles.
