Nose

Bouquet of ripe strawberries and cream.

Palate

The flavors of black cherry and blackberry are accentuated by pie crust on the finish.

Growing Conditions

This is 100% estate grown, single vineyard, pinot noir. It is a true Napa Valley Pinot.

Winemaking

After being hand-picked, the wine is cold soaked on skins, and gently pressed.

Aging

Aged in 50% new French oak from Marsannay and Francois Freres for eleven months.

Appearance

The wine has a jewel-like hue.

Food Pairing

It is gentle enough to pair happily with salmon but has enough structure and body to complement chicken, pork, lamb or spicy pasta.
