Winemaker's Notes
The 2023 growing season in San Luis Obispo County produced a true “winemaker’s vintage” marked by steady weather through summer and fall. The resulting Pinot Noir fruit displayed exquisite balance and structure. The grapes were harvested and cold soaked for three days for a soft extraction of flavor and color, then fermented in stainless steel tanks. The wine was pressed, racked and aged for 18 months in French oak barrels. The barrels included 15 percent new oak to enhance the texture profile and accentuate the pure varietal flavors.
Tasting Notes
The 2023 Pinot Noir opens with aromas of dried rose petal, red fruits, mulberry, cedar and cinnamon. A soft, silky mouthfeel envelops that palate with flavors raspberry jam, black cherry, sage, cola and oak spices. A core of juicy acidity brings the wine to a fresh, elegant finish.
Food Pairing
The supple textures and varietal flavors of the 2023 Pinot Noir are a perfect match for seafood, pasta and poultry dishes.

This bottling benefits a great cause, and it's also quite a steal of a Pinot Noir. Expressive aromas of cherry and green sage show on the nose. The palate's feathery tannins frame baked fruit, brioche, herb and game flavors. — Matt Kettmann
