Top Notes For
Sipping Fine Wine

A small winery in the Carneros region of Napa managed by Tony and Jo Ann Truchard successfully growing grapes for over 40 years. Complex aromas of red fruit, floral, citrus and earthy tones. On the palate strawberry and cherry with orange citrus, green tea, and sweet spice. Soft tannins on long finish ending with delicate spice and mineral notes. Nice.

Cherry, raspberry, vanilla, mossy earth, licorice and oak. Great structure and soft tannins.

For a Napa Pinot, it's not too extracted. Nice aromas of cola and cherry, flavors of raspberry and sour cherry.

Really nice traditional Carenros fruit, but a bit flabby in the mid palate.
