Winemaker Notes
This is a much kinder, gentler Kalita Vineyard Pinot Noir than usual. It is the lightest and most subtle and nuanced one we have made. If it were a character in a novel, it would be in one of Haruki Murakami’s as a quiet but complex character that evolves slowly. The aroma has white floral accents with a savory palate of tomato and sandalwood. It would pair beautifully with pasta or gnocchi with a brown butter and sage sauce or turkey stuffing. Drink 2021-2025.
