Steele Pinot Noir Sangiacomo Vineyard Carneros

Steele Pinot Noir Sangiacomo Vineyard Carneros Wine Details
Price: $18.00 per bottle

Description: We have worked with the Pinot Noir from Sangiacomo since our first vintage in 1991. Each year we choose the best lots and produce a single vineyard bottling. We age these lots for an additional 4-5 months and use a higher proportion of new French oak barrels. These barrels are heavily toasted during the bending of the staves. This toasting gives a smoky aromatic backdrop to the wonderful cherry fruit aromas and flavors. This is a beautiful expression of Pinot Noir: medium color and the pronounced aroma of “Bing” cherries, combined with a smooth structure and perfect balance.properly meld.
