Tasting notes
Moving to the reds, the 2017 Pinot Noir Estate was completely destemmed and brought up in 70% new French oak. It’s a full-bodied, opulent effort that has light tannins, moderate acidity, and perfumed black raspberry fruits interwoven with plenty of spice and floral notes. Drink this round, textured, flamboyant Pinot Noir over the coming 5-7 years.

Pale to medium ruby-purple, the 2017 Carneros Estate Pinot Noir is shy and broody on opening, with aromas of moss-covered bark and forest floor giving way to cranberry, rhubarb, blackberries and amaro hints with touches of blueberry. Light to medium-bodied, it's rounded and silky in the mouth with great flavor intensity, softly grainy tannins and juicy acidity to refresh the long, very spicy finish. 1,080 cases produced.
