PALATE
Exquisite with lively texture and power. A profound palate that leaves a lasting impression.
Unshackled from geographic constraints, this is a wine that comes straight from the heart of our winemaking team. 4-Barrel is a singular wine, the components of which change each year but whose promise and reason for being remain the same—a winemaker’s pledge to unearth a remarkable story from each vintage. The best blend we can craft from four special barrels with no vineyard or appellation restrictions.
Crafted using the most exceptional barrels of wine from Treehouse Vineyard, Gap’s Crown, Giusti Ranch, and newly sourced Rita’s Crown, this epic, unfiltered Pinot Noir is simply exquisite. Cherry, plum, blueberry, and basil harmoniously balance the lush yet lively texture, finishing as profound as the palate. Gorgeous silky tannins and undeniable power lay the foundation for an ever-lasting impression. A wine worth the wait.
Fact of Note: All current Pinot coopers represented in the final blend: Boutes, François Frères, Atelier, and Rousseau.
With soaring aromas and pure, exquisite flavors, these are incredible wines from a not-to-be-missed vintage.
