The 2023 growing season in Napa’s Los Carneros region was marked by cool coastal influences and long, even ripening—a classic year for Pinot Noir. Morning fog and steady afternoon breezes helped preserve acidity and enhance aroma development, while moderate temperatures allowed the fruit to achieve full maturity without excessive sugar. Precision harvesting and gentle fermentation were used to protect the grape’s delicate aromatics and silky texture, resulting in a Pinot Noir that captures the purity and brightness of the Carneros AVA.
This elegant, fruit-forward Pinot Noir pairs beautifully with herb-roasted chicken, grilled pork tenderloin, wild mushroom pasta, or a simple charcuterie board with soft, crreamy cheeses.
