Otelia's Selection

Tasting Notes

In the glass, this Pinot Noir presents itself as a lush, garnet-red beauty, exuding inviting aromas of raspberry, radiant red cherries, and a subtle note of earthy mushroom. The wine's texture is elegantly light, revealing flavors of tart rhubarb and crisp cranberry, subtly embellished with a touch of dusky black pepper and earthiness on the finish. It's a luscious and harmoniously balanced wine, culminating in an alluring and seductive finish.

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.
