This vintage marks our tenth anniversary of producing Pinot Noir from the famed Bien Nacido Vineyard.  Our small section of this large vineyard has some of the oldest vines on the property, now almost 30 years old.

The aromas of this wine can be described as spicy, smoky, with a hint of black licorice.  On the palate the wine is rich, smooth, with complex layers of textures and flavors.  This wine can be enjoyed in the near term but will also develop for another four to six years in the bottle.  Because of the small production this wine will only be available through the winery.  Only 105 cases produced.
