This Pinot Noir comes from our Las Brisas Vineyard and is a blend of many clones, including 50% Swan. Las Brisas benefits from the cool marine layer from the San Pablo Bay, allowing the fruit on the vines to mature at a leisurely pace. It spent 16 months in 50% new French oak and exhibits a fusion of cherry and strawberry fruit aromas with underlying hints of tea and black pepper, finishing with subtle toast from extended barrel aging. Comprised of eight distinct clones of Pinot Noir the flavors strike a pleasing balance between bright fruit and subtle dried herb and sweet French oak notes.
