Composed of Domaine Carneros’ best estate pinot noir (55%) and estate chardonnay (45%), this wine is created from two different pinot noir components: classic base wines without skin contact and base wines that undergo maceration for a few days for color extraction. This brief skin contact is essential to the delicate fruitiness and soft coral hue. The alluring nose brims with a bouquet of roses, cherry reduction sauce, orangesicle and ginger. The palate unfolds seamlessly – fresh strawberry, apricot, peaches, molasses and a hint of ginger snap – sailing on bright acidity, finishing long and round with hallmark Carneros minerality.

Onion skin pink hue with a foamy bead. Intense bouquet of grilled nuts, strawberry jam, toasted brioche. Fresh and bright with very well defined strawberry fruit notes, complemented by baked brioche complexity. Dosage just a touch high.
