Our Wines

Elegant and expressive, our 2023 Chilean Pinot Noir reflects both Old-World restraint and New-World clarity. Sourced from cool-climate vineyards, this wine opens with aromas of ripe cherry, wild strawberry, and rose petal, layered with subtle notes of baking spice and soft earth.

On the palate, it is silky and balanced, with bright acidity, fine tannins, and a lingering finish marked by red fruit and gentle oak influence. Crafted in small batches with minimal intervention, this Pinot Noir is refined yet approachable—equally at home at the table or enjoyed on its own.

A wine made with intention, meant to be shared.

Small Lot Production

These grapes were grown in the rocky and volcanic soils of the Suisun Valley AVA, and were left to ripen during an extended warm growing season. After fermentation, the wine underwent a 20-day extended maceration before being aged for 12 months on lees in an American oak whiskey barrel. As a result, the wine has transformed into a bold and refined vintage that can be appreciated when young or aged for 4-8 years.
