Tasting Notes
The 2018 Bien Nacido Pinot Noir delivers an abundance of wild summer raspberries, fresh cherries, strawberries, and pomegranate. Plenty of savory spices and crushed flowers compliment the bright red fruit profile. Foraged truffle mushrooms, tea leaves, mint, eucalyptus, and sandalwood lend mystery and intrigue. The palate is refreshingly elegant, and strikes a perfect balance of earthy complexity and concentrated fruit.
Vineyard Notes
With a rich history that extends back to 1837 as a Spanish land grant, Bien Nacido Vineyard is one of the most prestigious sites in the Santa Maria Valley appellation, with a well-deserved reputation for truly exceptional Pinot Noir. We have sourced fruit from this historic vineyard for more than 20 years. For this release, we are one of the fortunate few to source some of the Pommard selection, 100% from the legendary Q Block – considered the most prestigious Pinot Noir block on this famous site.
