the wine is supple and layered, with flavors of cherry compote, blood orange, and a touch of black tea. The tannins are fine-grained and polished, framing a juicy, vibrant mid-palate that glides into a long, savory finish with hints of sandalwood and crushed herbs. Balanced, expressive, and beautifully structured, this 2024 Pinot Noir captures the delicate power of Carneros—perfect for early enjoyment but with the depth to evolve gracefully over the next 5-8 years.
