Vineyard Notes
In their quest for the deep, seductive Pinot Noir of their dreams, our winemakers went to the dark side. They wanted to craft a wine that captured true Pinot Noir character while delivering a richer, more indulgent experience a wine that would transcend all expectations. They sourced grapes from premier cool climate vineyards in California's Central Coast, North Coast and warmer inland sites in Lodi to create a beautifully balanced wine. To the Pinot Noir, they added Petite Sirah for intensity and depth, Syrah for a plush, full-bodied texture and Zinfandel for richness. The blend was aged on French and American oak to enhance the deep red and black fruit flavors with smooth, rounded tannins. 

Food Pairing Notes
Indulge with pork roast, duck and roasted mushrooms.
