Founded in 1980, Walter Schug earned a reputation during his tenure as Founding Winemaker for Joseph Phelps Vineyards in the 1970s, where he made California’s first proprietary Bordeaux-Style blend "Insignia". Ruby with fresh berry aromas and some spice. On the palate cherry & raspberry flavors with sweet spice and oak notes. Lively acidity with good balance medium+ finish ending with spicy tones.

Tarda en abrir, oloroso al inicio y luego un sabor delicado e intenso de un clásico pinot

Subtle and modest in its Pinot characteristics, with just a hint of spice.

A strong nose with vegetal and earthy tones. Clear ruby color, well balanced with strong red berries and spice. Complex nose, long finish. Very good wine. Can drink now but can age
