Private Reserve


Pinot Noir

2023

This Pinot Noir unveils captivating aromas of dark cherry, ripe currants, and a whisper of fragrant blossoms. On the palate, it reveals luscious notes of succulent plum, vibrant garden-fresh raspberries, and warm, spiced allspice. This elegantly composed Pinot is finely structured, with smooth tannins and a well-integrated acidity.

Story

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.
