2011 Ca' Del Grevino Pinot Noir Reserve
In Stock
Working with small lots of Pinot Noir from our estate vineyard, we created an alluring, sexy and delicious rendition of a classic wine. The wine being rich in texture, showing great viscosity, a long finish and elegant tannins, is drinkable in its youth, but would benefit from some cellaring or extended decanting. Vinified with particular attention paid to its varietal character, this wine is a solid representation of our estate vineyard’s endless potential.

Wine Profile
Vineyard Notes
We made its first Cabernet in 1999. It was the first wine to be on the cover and has been a real hit since. This wine is a terroir driven Cabernet from gravelly, alluvial soils; very much like the gravel beds. Hence, the best Cabernet came from the main vineyard, with lots of gravel, grown on a Bordeaux Clone. Our goal with this wine is to showcase not only the best, but our most terroir driven Cabernet.

Winemaker Notes
Ruby red in color with intense aromas of dried olives and blackberries with underlying mineral and tea-like hints of espresso. Powerful, dusty Cabernet flavors hit you along with concentrated blackberry fruit flavors on the palate. The finish is clean and has a purity to it that is framed with ripe tannins that rein in the fruit.

Probably the best wine I have ever had. It is ridiculously smooth, zero bite on the back of the tongue/throat. Smells delightful. The people I shared it with over here on the East Coast were blown away by how good it tasted.
