2017 Bien Nacido Pinot Noir

First planted in 1973, the famed Bien Nacido Vineyard is widely recognized as one of California’s greatest vineyards, and one of the New World’s grand cru-caliber winegrowing sites.

On the nose it offers perfumed aromas with alluring notes of red berries. The palate showcases firm tannins that add depth and nuance to the red fruit flavors, which are underscored by sophisticated hints of Santa Maria Valley’s signature savory spice.
