This pinot's bold red cherry flavors give it a clear Carneros profile. It's open and fragrant with scents of fat cherries, Mandarin orange and maple syrup, creamy in the middle, gripping in the end. For the duck confit and kale salad at Maysville in New York, or quail with a sweet glaze. Best Buy.

Lush and ripe with sweet cherry and a hint of oak; spicy and smooth with fine acid structure and a long, fresh 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.
