About This Wine

Producer Notes

Creating the Pinot Noir Classique is always so enjoyable because you can clearly feel a sense of the individual sites layered in this wine. This is the opportunity for each site to have their moment center stage while being fully supported by the rest of the cast. Take the intensity and wildness of Leidenfrost for example, which is softened by the supple figure of Bellows. Tango Oaks, our own beautiful version of Chambolle that provides lift and generosity of fruit.

Critical Acclaim

SP 88 Wine Spectator 2019 vintage May 1, 2021

Charming, with silky-textured blood orange and red tea notes, lined with a subtle mineral twinge on the finish. Drink now through 2023. 511 cases made. (James Molesworth)

RP 87 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate 2023 vintage

Fermented in five-ton Taransaud vats, the 2023 Pinot Noir Classique derives from several vineyard parcels in the neighborhood of the winery. It's pale ruby in hue, with scents of cherries and beetroot that show clear varietal character. In the mouth, it's medium-bodied and on the lean side at 12.5% alcohol but silky-textured and not without charm, finishing tart and cranberry-ish.
