Tasting notes
Bright bouquet of raspberry and cherry blossoms with added notes of cedar, white pepper and spice. Vanilla and toasty oak round out the nose with a subtle creamy nature at the close. Palate follows bouquet with more raspberry and sweet cherry fl avors. An earthy palate offers soft oak and touches of cocoa powder with a lingering fi nish of summer blackberry and plum. This Pinot Noir's berry fruits and soft oak make it a perfect pairing for fl atbreads and artisianal pizzas.

Vintage
2012 was a banner year for growing coastal Pinot Noir. Little water during the spring months yielded even cane growth and budbreak. Cluster thinning
allowed us to maintain balance and elegant expression. The grapes reached flavor maturity at lower sugar levels while still retaining vibrant acidity,
providing long-lasting fi nishes.
