Our Winemaker’s love affair with crafting wine began in his teenage years on the Balistreri Estate Vineyard, and from there comes this rich and complex Pinot Noir. Dark, ripe fruit aromas with subtle herbal notes lead to a palate where acid takes the driver’s seat, perfectly complementing the fruit. Each sip reveals new layers of depth and complexity, making this top-level single vineyard Pinot Noir a true masterpiece. Bearing our Winemaker’s name, this wine is an excellent example of his light-touch, earth-to-glass winemaking process. With each sip, the flavors of this Pinot Noir only become richer and more enjoyable.
