Winemaker Notes
This one’s got charm for days. The No Curfew Pinot Noir is easygoing but not basic—layered with bright red berries, a little earthiness, and just enough mystery to keep you curious. It’s smooth without trying too hard and has that whole “effortlessly cool” energy that makes you lean in a little closer. Pop it open with your favorite people, your best playlist, and let the night unfold. This bottle knows how to keep the conversation flowing.
Undoubtedly proving its merit over and over, Napa Valley is a now a leading force in the world of prestigious red wine regions. Though Cabernet Sauvignon dominates Napa Valley, other red varieties certainly thrive here. Important but often overlooked include Merlot and other Bordeaux varieties well-regarded on their own as well as for their blending capacities. Very old vine Zinfandel represents an important historical stronghold for the region and Pinot noir is produced in the cooler southern parts, close to the San Pablo Bay.
Perfectly situated running north to south, the valley acts as a corridor, pulling cool, moist air up from the San Pablo Bay in the evenings during the hot days of the growing season, which leads to even and slow grape ripening. Furthermore the valley claims over 100 soil variations including layers of volcanic, gravel, sand and silt—a combination excellent for world-class red wine production.
