On the palate, it reveals layers of juicy raspberry, cranberry, and subtle baking spice, with touches of forest floor adding depth and intrigue. This elegantly composed Pinot is finely structured, with silky tannins and a vibrant, well-integrated acidity.

The Private Reserve wines are the ultimate wines within the portfolio; limited in production, sourced from the finest vineyards in Sonoma County and from appellations best suited for a specific varietal given the dramatic diversity in climatic and soil conditions across the County. The Private Reserve Pinot Noir was sourced from the cooler Sonoma County region, allowing evening fog to influence the acidity while afternoon sunshine leads to the development of bright fruit flavors that culminate in this rich, enticing wine.
