Los Carneros is a special place in southern Sonoma County to grow Pinot Noir. Most of the growing season the vineyards are absent of the cooling fog which rolls in over the evening, blanketing their counterparts in the north. The difference in the microclimate makes for a fantastic layered, albeit a bit spicy take on this classic. The wine displays a brilliant ruby color that sets the stage for aromas of pomegranate and bright red fruit, with hints of exotic spice. While dominated by effusive fruit flavors, the wine is well-balanced with a mouthful of ripe berries and a harmonious combination of acidity and structure.
