About the Wine
Burgundy red. Aromas of cola, cherry, herbs, and allspice. On the palate, notes of cherry, raspberry, cloves; balanced with integrated tannins and oak.
Typically, this is the first red variety to be harvested from the Whale Rock Vineyard each season. Castoro Cellars uses a quick, yet warm maceration along with French and American oak aging for only 10 months to retain the bright fruit characters and suppleness. Classic Pinot Noir nuances of Bing cherry, thyme, nutmeg, and violets are present with balanced, round, and layered tannins.
