2023 Barrel 23 Pinot Noir

This expressive Pinot Noir is the result of a collaborative blending project with members of our Cuvaison community, whose insights were invaluable in shaping the final wine. The blend brings together Mount Eden “Rae” clone for a lush base with spice and dark plum, Chambertin for floral notes of violet and rose, bright acidity, and vibrant red fruits, and Dijon 943 for structure, black cherry, clove, and allspice, seamlessly tying it all together. Silky and layered, it finishes with elegant length and a touch of warm baking spice.

Just 24 cases produced.
