Saintsbury Carneros Pinot Noir 2021 is a testament to the meticulous craftsmanship and deep-rooted passion of Saintsbury Winery, which found its inception in the serendipitous meeting of two wine enthusiasts, Richard Ward and David Graves, during their enology studies at UC Davis. The winery's origins can be traced back to their humble beginnings, crafting their initial non-commercial wine, a barrel-fermented Riesling from Santa Barbara.
When it comes to sourcing the finest Pinot Noir fruit, Saintsbury Winery meticulously selects vineyards in Carneros that offer a diverse range of aspects and clonal variations. This careful curation results in a sophisticated and lively Pinot Noir that beautifully encapsulates the essence of the Carneros region. Renowned for its loam and clay soils, the Carneros terroir, with its mix of flat land and gentle rolling hillsides, benefits from the regular marine fog that envelops the region each evening, lending unique characteristics to the grapes.
Indulge in the sensory journey offered by Saintsbury Carneros Pinot Noir 2021, with its enchanting bouquet of rose petal, dark cherries, cocoa, anise, and cardamom. The wine tantalizes the palate with a delightful fusion of sweet cherry and plum, intertwined with a vibrant mid-palate reminiscent of warm baking spices, culminating in an impeccably refined and lingering finish. Complement the richness of this wine with an array of culinary delights, such as succulent lamb, tender duck, flavorsome stewed curries, artisanal cheeses, and earthy wild mushrooms, to elevate your dining experience to new heights.
