2023 Estate Carneros
PINOT NOIR
The Place. Our ‘23 Pinot Noir is the second volume from Barnhouse Vineyard, our naturally farmed, estate microsite in the heart of Carneros, Sonoma, CA.
The Wine. A cuvée of clones Dijon 115 & Pommard 4, this wine is a distinct expression of a timeless vintage. Bright cherry, bergamot and tea notes give way to baking spice and dark fruit for a lingering finish.
