2023 NOIR

While crafting our classic, 100% Pinot Noir, we found ourselves wondering—what if we leaned into its more mysterious side? Could we enhance its depth, coax out its darker nuances, and create something entirely unexpected? Wonder no more. With just a whisper of Firepit Red—2% of its most brooding, inky barrel—we’ve woven a new layer of intrigue into this special cuvée. The result? A seductive, velvety Pinot Noir that’s already a favorite among those who love pushing the boundaries of tradition.

The 2023 opens with a burst of dried red cherry, cranberry, licorice tea, cinnamon, and pecan brittle. These notes come into even sharper relief on the palate, where bright red plum and cassis notes foregrounds the earthier influence of the Pinot Noir, which contributes hyssop, mallow, and elder bark. The wine's body has an almost velveteen texture, with a strong core of acidity and grippy tannins.
