Ida's Selection

Pinot Noir / 2023

This 2023 Ida’s Selection Pinot Noir shines a pale ruby-purple in the glass, with lifted aromas of wild strawberry, Bing cherry, and raspberry leaf, layered with rosehip, lavender, and a whisper of mossy forest floor. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is perfumed with vibrant red berry fruit, framed by supple, silky tannins. There’s a coastal energy at its core — a wine of quiet intensity and elegance, delivering depth of flavor while remaining delicate and effortlessly fresh.

Story

Named for Count Haraszthy’s fourth child and first daughter, Ida’s Selection Pinot Noir is sourced from four vineyards, Swicegood, Pennachio, Doña Margarita, and Sonoma Stage. Located on the western slopes of the Sonoma Coast, these grapes ripen under optimally balanced conditions and are hand-harvested at the peak of ripeness.
