Our S.V. Estate Pinot Noir adds new meaning to the term "homegrown," as some of the vines from which it is drawn are mere steps from the tasting room. Having complete "dirt to bottle" quality control ensures this limited release is a special one.
The 2020 Estate Pinot Noir is a delightful balance of soft bright red fruits and floral notes. On the nose cherry, raspberry, and plum are layered with
herbs and spice. The palate echoes the aromas along with white pepper, and a touch of clove. Serve this with grilled flank steak and a chimichurri sauce.
