Wine Description

This Vintner's Reserve is a dark garnet gem. It delivers bright cherry, strawberry, and raspberry fruit aromas and flavours, complemented by elegant, earthy notes infused with cola and mild spice accents. The wine is a varietal expression of 100% Pinot Noir. Oak aging in mostly French oak adds a hint of vanilla and a soft, toasty finish, providing complexity and a smooth texture. This wine strikes a balance, offering a full-bodied, rich profile with good acidity and a solid finish. The wine is designated as sustainable by the Certified California Sustainable Winegrowing program.
