Tasting Notes
Visual Appearance
Delicate, slender ruby-red impressions, subtle yet expressive
Aromatic Sensations
A dark-fruited aromatic profile marked by black cherry, mixed-berry compote, and plum, complemented by a gentle peppery note and a touch of graphite, adding mineral tension and precision.
Taste-Olfactory Sensations
An enveloping fruit-driven embrace, layered with subtle earthy nuances. The finish is long and refined, leaving elegant traces of ripe fruit and a persistent balsamic note, contributing depth and lingering complexity.
The Word of the Producer
A Pinot Noir that bears the name of a Native American tribe.
The most austere soul of the Central Coast, born where the continent meets the sky. A structure that tames elegance, resulting in an untamed character.
