Wine in Carneros Napa

Bread & Butter Pinot Noir is all about that juicy red fruit. Think cherries and raspberries with a touch of cassis. Delicate hints of cedar, smoke, and bay leaf cut the sweetness of the fruit, creating a nicely balanced bouquet. That luscious fruit bouquet continues onto the palate, where it’s joined by soft flavors of oak and savory notes. With a long and beautifully smooth finish, this Pinot Noir will melt in your mouth.

Enticing aromas of vanilla, peach and mango are layered with apricots, creme brulee, butter and a slight minerality.

Vineyard Notes: The fruit for this wine comes from vineyards in the Carneros region owned by the Rombauer family and select growers including the Sangiacomo family, long-term grower partners who have farmed this land for three generations. Winemaker Notes: The grapes were gently whole-cluster pressed while the fruit was still cool. The juice was pumped to tank to cold-settle overnight before it was racked to barrel for primary and malolactic fermentation. The lees were stirred every two weeks to give the wine rich flavors and a creamy texture. Food Pairing: Our favorite Joy of Cooking® pairings for this wine include pan-seared scallops, chicken satay with green papaya salad, and salade niçoise.

Or shared over an array of culinary adventures... -Vineyard: Carneros, home of some of the best Pinot Noir in the world. Our vineyard is located in the north end of Carneros, on the Napa Valley side, right on the foothills of Mount Veeder and Mayacamas mountains. The soil is volcanic and its farming is organic (Napa Green Certified Land). 3 distinctive parcels within the same 400 acres property. -2019 Vintage: We still brag about how excellent 2018 vintage was in Carneros, but 2019 may just steal the show as the vintage of the decade for Pinot Noir in Napa. Time will tell, but as I’m writing these tasting notes (July 2020), I am astonished with the early development and elegance of this vintage every time I uncork a bottle. Although 2019 vintage has the structure to last years in the cellar, its freshness makes it “The House” wine for today’s occasion. -Tasting Notes: Wild strawberries, rhubarb, pomegranate and black cherries aromas are all found on the nose. The palate is so silky and smooth with lingering flavors of cranberry, ripe plum and spice. Expect flavors of earth, black tea and dried cherries to show up with age. 100% Pinot Noir (Dijon Clone 113, Pommard Clone 5, Dijon Clone 777) • 9 months in French Oak barrels (30% new, 70% 1 year seasoned) • Sustainable farming and winemaking practices • 2800 Cases made • Low Sulfites (<75ppm SO2)

Peter Mondavi Sr., was among the very first vintners to plant Burgundian varietals in Carneros, a relatively cool region at the Southernmost end of Napa Valley. With its rolling hills, prolific fog and gusty winds, Carneros is known for producing grapes with bright fruit flavors and bracing acidity. The cool climate, early ripening Pinot Noir grapes are always our first red variety into the winery each harvest. The pristine fruit is handpicked at night and delivered to the winery in the early hours of the morning. The resulting wine is aged in French Burgundy oak barrels for 8 months before bottling. Varietal Makeup: 100% Pinot Noir Aging: 8 months in French Oak Barrels, 35% New Vintage information: The 2018 vintage featured near perfect growing conditions from start to finish. Abundant February rain gave way to a slightly late bud break, but from there on the vines and grape clusters enjoyed copious amounts of ripening sunshine tempered by cool maritime influences at night. Temperatures remained even and steady throughout the Summer and well into Fall, devoid of any major heat spikes. This all made for a leisurely unhurried harvest that extended well into November for the reds. This extended hang-time on the vine led to fruit with great concentration of flavor and natural acidity.

This classic Carneros Chardonnay was grown on our own cool-climate Estate vineyard, as well as the Ricci, Cornerstone, Wildcat, Sangiacomo, Leveroni and Iund Vineyards. It was barrel fermented and aged on the lees (sur-lie) in small French oak barrels, with minimal new oak introduced. Malo-lactic fermentation was not induced, allowing the wine to retain its natural acidity and varietal focus. The result is a wine that is both rich and powerful, while refreshing and elegant on the finish. It has a ripe, spicy tropical bouquet with flavors that suggest citrus, pear and spiced apples. Well-balanced acidity gives it a crisp, clean finish, making it an excellent wine with food.
