Viticulture
A very limited cuvee of Le Cadeau Pinot Noir produced with Pierre Millemann, an oenologist from Nuit-Saint-George who has worked with many top wineries in the US and Europe. The grapes were sourced primarily from Calera and Dijon clones on the Eastern side of our vineyard, estate plantings of Vosne-Romaneé clones, and the various heritage clones found throughout the Southern blocks. Bottle unfined and unfiltered.

Tasting Note
A forest-floor walk filled with aromas of duff, mushrooms, pine needles, dark raspberries, and violets. Tart red raspberry and orange zest flavors unite on the palate along with strongly brewed black tea and nutmeg. Bold acidity meets silky tannins.
“This seductive Pinot offers polished and multilayered flavors of raspberry and black cherry laced with oolong tea and forest floor tones.”
