RATINGS

93Wine Enthusiast

...beautifully balanced and bright, with nuanced layers of depth. Cherry, cola spice and forest floor mingle effortlessly in the glass, as the palate remains silky soft.

91The Wine Advocate

...wonderfully earthy/savory nose over a core of red currants and black cherries with a touch of black pepper. Medium-bodied, fresh and pure, the palate has a nice firm, grainy backbone and well-played acidity with plenty of expressive red berry and earthy flavors, finishing long.

REGION

United States, California, Napa Valley, Carneros

Carneros AVA, also known as Los Carneros, is at the southern end of the Napa and Sonoma Valleys at the top of the San Francisco Bay. The 8,000 vineyard acres are mostly planted to Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, both of which thrive in the district’s cool, marine climate. Carneros became an AVA in 1983 and it has attracted foreign wine companies along with local producers. It has been especially appealing to European producers of sparkling wines including the giant Spanish cava producers Codorniu and Frexinet, and the French Champagne house Taittinger. Codorniu in Carneros is called Artesa, and Frexinet’s Carneros brand is Gloria Ferrer. Taittinger calls its Carneros winery Domaine Carneros. The European producers also make still wines in Carneros.

TYPE

Red Wine, Pinot Noir

This red wine is relatively light and can pair with a wide variety of foods. The grape prefers cooler climates and the wine is most often associated with Burgundy, Champagne and the U.S. west coast. Regional differences make it nearly as fickle as it is flexible.
