Bread & Butter Pinot Noir 2021
The 2021 California vintage is expected to be the best vintage in recent years. Although drought conditions reduced grape yields, the harvest yielded red wine varietals of the highest quality, including well-developed tannins and concentrated fruit.
Grapes are sourced from vineyards in Sonoma County, Carneros AVA and Monterey County, Arroyo Seco AVA. The grapes are from Pommard and 777 clones, and all malolactic fermentation is done with natural yeasts.
The wine expresses rich flavors of fresh fruit such as raspberry and cassis with soft oak nuances. The finish is beautifully long and smooth.

Bread & Butter is a reference to the craft of winemaking.
Bread = Oak. Butter = Malolactic Fermentation.
The type of oak, origin, producer, level of toast, time on oak, and racking all play a vital role in developing bread-like flavors and texture of the wine. Butter characters come from malolactic fermentation. The conversion of malic acid to lactic acid produces rich, buttery flavors and changes the texture of the wine to be more creamy and soft. These factors work together to best compliment the complexity of fruit and expression of terroir produced in the vineyard.
