Single Vineyard Series
2020 Winemaker Series, 4–Barrel, California, Pinot Noir
Unshackled from geographic constraints, this is a wine that comes straight from the heart of our winemaking team. 4 Barrel is a singular wine, whose components change each year but the promise and reason for being, remain the same – a winemaker’s pledge to unearth a remarkable story from each vintage.
Combining the most sublime lots of wine from four of California’s most extraordinary vineyards with our favorite French oak coopers, our 2020 4-Barrel is a testament to everything we have learned about growing and making Pinot Noir over the past quarter-century. This consummate blend from the Treehouse, Rita’s Crown, Gowan Creek, and Cerise vineyards is brilliantly fragrant, bursting with aromas of red berries, roses, old-growth forest, and wet river rocks. On the palate, age-worthy tannins and dynamic acidity add depth and dimension to an impeccably polished finish.
