2020 Winery Exclusive Pinot Noir

Tasting Notes

An exemplary ruby red Pinot Noir, the 2020 Winery Exclusive Pinot Noir encompasses incredible structure, complexity, and balance. Fresh, expressive, and elegant, with layers of berry spice, such as raspberry, cranberry, and blackberry, intertwining with charming nuances of crushed rose petal and vanilla. The wine unfolds with deeper notes of coffee and baking spice that shine through after decanting. Sweet tannins combine with high acidity, allowing for a very balanced, long finish.

Winemaking

Classic Pinot Noir Clones 115, 667, and 777 are among those reflected in the blocks chosen for this winery exclusive expression of Carneros. The cooler maritime influences from San Pablo Bay create ideal growing conditions for finicky Pinot Noir, which has found a real home in the carefully tended vineyards within. The wines aged 9 months in French oak barrels before final blending.

Vintage

The 2020 season will be remembered for factors beyond the typical harvest season. It was a warm, dry winter, and the rain and cooler weather didn’t arrive until the end of March. While the mild spring season was a great early start, our winery working conditions had extensive safety protocols due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Summer brought very cool mornings and very warm days, but then harvest was interrupted by wildfires across California, which came as grapes started to be picked, and we were very fortunate that none of our vineyards were in the areas of the active fires. The white wine harvest started in early August, the wines are showing excellent development in cellars, reflecting the fine vintage year. While the red wine harvest will be smaller yielding and proved to be one of the most challenging in history, our winemakers remained optimistic and very complimentary of the high quality achieved from this unprecedented vintage. Overall, the season was marked by exceptional fruit development with phenolic ripeness, producing a wonderful wine vintage.
