Story

Named for Count Haraszthy’s youngest daughter, Otelia’s Selection Pinot Noir is sourced from one of the finest vineyards atop Sonoma Mountain. Harvested from some of the oldest Pinot Noir vines in Sonoma County, this wine has a distinctive blend of clones that are enhanced by a small amount of Pinot Meunier to add depth and complexity. A variety of soils ranging from sandy loam with a shallow clay layer to heavy clay contribute to the distinctive deep fruit and earthy flavors in this wine.
