The Zero New Oak Pinot Noir is sourced from all the blocks in our estate vineyard and aged in older French oak barrels, gaining complexity but not flavor from the vessels.
As with all our Pinot Noirs, this wine was fermented with wild yeast and wild ML strains and a portion of whole clusters, then bottled unfined and unfiltered. This wine is brighter and fresher than our other Pinot Noirs, and pairs with sushi, dinner salads, grilled fish or poultry. We also love it on the beach with some parmesan and prosciutto.
The 2023 vintage was an excellent one for winemakers across the state. We are thrilled with both quality and quantity this year and the resulting wines are utterly delicious.
