winemaker's notes:

This classic Carneros region Pinot Noir offers a wide range of flavors and aromas, in the tradition of the finest red Burgundies of France. "Clonal diversity" is achieved by carefully blending several vineyard lots, each retaining its own unique clonal signature in the blend. The result is a complex wine with a rich bouquet of cherries, berries and hints of spicy new oak. It has flavors reminiscent of black cherry, currant and strawberry, followed by a rich, spicy texture and a long silky finish.

This wine pairs nicely with lamb, duck, even grilled fish, and will improve with additional cellaring for 2 to 5 years.

alcohol by volume: 14.0%
critical acclaim:

"Medium ruby color; spicy cherry aromas with a hint of thyme; rich, ripe bright red cherry flavors with spice and herbal notes; sweet oak; silky texture; good structure and balance; long finish. Rich, spicy Pinot that is fabulous on its own but also try it with grilled chicken."

rating (5/2/2013):
Interesting combination of dried and fresh cherry flavors. Also some burnt caramel. Oak is under control. More austere than a typical Cali PN. Very nice.
