2014 Pinot Noir
Our 2014 Pinot Noir is a deep and brilliant red-rubis colored wine that exhibits wild red and black berry aromas with hints of clove spice and toasted oak.
Overview
Hand crafted in very limited quantities, our still wines are sold exclusively through our visitor center in Rutherford and through our loyal club membership. In 2014 we crafted a wonderful Estate Pinot Noir from grapes farmed at our Devaux Ranch, in the Napa Valley area of the Carneros appellation.
This 2014 vintage is elegant and complex, with a silky texture. It is dense and layered with soft tannins surrounding a crisp and refreshing acid structure. The finish is long, with a nice balance of red berries and spices with notes of cranberry, red plums, and fresh cedar wood. This wine already displays a great intensity and a long finish, but it should benefit from 3 to 5 years of cellar aging in order to soften the tannins and enhance its mouthfeel complexity.

This wine is wonderful for an intimate dinner party and should be served with hearty dishes such as wild mushroom risotto, lamb shanks, veal, and pasta dishes in creamy sauces, as well as cheeses like Emmental, Morbier and Limburger.
