Wine Description:
Mitsuko’s Vineyard, located south of Highway 121 in the cooler part of Napa Carneros, has proved to have an abundance of ideal sites for Pinot Noir. Since its purchase as bare land in 1989, we have continually refined our plantings to optimize the wine grape quality potential of each block by determining the best clones to match each soil type. Thus, our Pinot Noir blend continues to evolve towards greater heights every year.
The Pommard Clone UCD-04 is handpicked from Mitsuko's Vineyard on a hillside selection on Graveyard Hill in Carneros. This selection is a relatively new vineyard planting being planted in 2019 and receives less water due to runoff with bright sunshine due to the hillside location.
Tasting Note:
A beautiful crimson red color in the glass. Ripe strawberry, spiced chocolate, forest mushroom and baking spice aromas complement the Bing cherry and allspice on the palate. With fresh acidity and a medium finish, this wine is perfect with mushroom and brie pizza, grilled asparagus or portobello penne pasta casserole.
