Domaine Carneros Estate Pinot Noir 2021 750ml

Harvest Notes
e 2021 growing season commenced with an early budbreak followed by
unseasonably cool spring and early summer temperatures, which helped
preserve vineyard health as we entered a second year of drought conditions.
Summer temperatures were moderated by the marine layer which allowed the
grapes to mature slowly and consistently and resulted in wonderful depth of
avor and concentration at harvest.
Winemakers Tasting Notes
e 2021 edition of our Estate Pinot Noir packs a range of delicious fruit and
savory avors. Beginning with the nose, one encounters subtle red fruits, coastal
fern, and tobacco leaf. e palate delivers vibrant red fruits of cranberry and
raspberry intertwined with silky creamy texture, followed by notes of spice and
forest oor on the warming nish. Ten months of barrel age lends a sweetness
that balances the supple tannin from this exceptional vintage producing an
intense full bodied Pinot Noir. e hallmark of Domaine Carneros Pinot Noir
is the texture, and this wine delivers with a supple and rich mouthfeel.
