2016 Chalone Vineyard Reserve Pinot Noir, Chalone AVA
Winemaker Notes
Our 2016 Estate Reserve Pinot Noir is bright ruby red in color and known for its
layered flavors and complexity. It opens with juicy ripe raspberry and plum notes
balanced out by hints of forest floor and warm toasty baking spice on the finish.
A unique minerality neatly ties up all of these elements as a result of mature
vineyards vineyards and ancient limestone soils that run through the Chalone
AVA.
