Discover the grape variety: Pinot noir

Elegant reds, light in colour with silky tannins, showing strawberry, cherry and raspberry aromas, evolving to forest floor, mushroom and spice with age. Fresh acidity, delicate finish. Star of the Côte d'Or (Romanée-Conti, Chambertin, Volnay), pillar of Champagne (Blanc de Noirs) and signature of Oregon, Central Otago and Sonoma Coast. An early-ripening Burgundian variety, one of the world's greatest.

The wine region of Sta. Rita Hills

Sacred ground of cool-climate Pinot Noir and Chardonnay (western tip of Santa Ynez, AVA 2001): signature Pinot Noir reigns (2,100 acres) with intense red and black fruit aromas, silky tannins and clean earth, white pepper and clove spices. Mineral, Chablis-like Chardonnay (500 acres), signature tension and freshness. Also Syrah, Barbera and Sauvignon Blanc. Marine corridors between the Purisima and Santa Rosa Hills, marine limestone soils, a Californian Burgundian identity.


The wine region of California

Powerful, sunny reds: dense Napa Cabernet Sauvignon (blackcurrant, chocolate, tobacco, ample tannins), spicy, jammy Zinfandel from the Sierra Foothills, silky red-fruited Pinot Noir on the cool coast (Sonoma, Russian River, Central Coast). Opulent, buttery Chardonnay, notes of yellow fruit and vanilla. Varied climate, from the hot interior to the Pacific-cooled coast. 80% of US production, 139 AVAs including Napa (1st AVA, 1981).

The word of the wine: Bouquet
