This vintage delights with a medium body and vibrant acidity, creating a balanced mouthfeel that enhances the overall tasting experience. The fruit intensity is prominent, featuring luscious notes of ripe cherries and blackberry, complemented by subtle undertones of vanilla and spice from the bourbon barrel aging. Tannins are medium, adding structure without overwhelming the palate, while the wine finishes dry, leaving a lasting impression that invites another sip. This unique expression of Pinot Noir beautifully marries the elegance of the varietal with the richness imparted by the bourbon barrels, making it a delightful choice for both casual gatherings and special occasions.

California is one of the most diverse winegrowing regions in the world. Spanning 850 miles along North America's west coast—and inland across mountains and valleys—California's American Viticultural Areas (AVAs) cover a dizzying array of terroir. The cold, deep waters of the Pacific Ocean play a major role in cooling California's vineyards, sending fog and chilly air up to 100 miles inland. This tempers the daytime heat and allows grapes to ripen slowly but fully. Cooler-climate grape varieties thrive closest to the sea, while further inland, bigger, bolder wines prevail.
