Carneros Pinot Noir

Carneros Pinot Noir Wine Details
Price: $34.00 per bottle

Description: The 2002 harvest marks the first vintage where our Carneros Pinot Noir comes entirely from the Toyon Vineyard, located in the Napa side of the appellation. It sits on a cool, southern facing knoll with spectacular views to San Pablo Bay. It was planted for us in 1998 to two clones of Pinot noir: Dijon 115 and the Swan selection. The Swan selection possesses deep, juicy black cherry, blackberry, and dark chocolate flavors with great structure. The 115 clone overlays pretty aromatics of spice, violets, and cola and bright fruit. Together, a mouth filling combination with layer upon layer of complexity
