Crafted from an outstanding harvest, the 2021 is a delicate Pinot Noir, aged in French Oak, with the perfect balance of acidity and light tannins.

Hailed as a season of near-perfect conditions, summer 2021 produced some remarkable wines. Our 2021 Pinot Noir is a benchmark of this exceptional harvest.
