WINEMAKER NOTES: The 2019 vintage in San Benito County was warm and dry, allowing for ideal hangtime and flavor development. Our Pinot noir was harvested in early October from Vista Verde Vineyard – a site heavy in limestone and reminiscent of the famed soils of Burgundy. The quality of the grapes was exceptional, with perfect chemistry and expressive flavors. To increase concentration and color, we saignéed a small portion of the juice prior to fermentation. Aged exclusively in French oak, our Pinot noir has soft, smooth tannins and an elegant bouquet of ripe red fruit, vanilla, and spice.
