This Pinot Noir was grown in the high elevation and cool climate of the Santa Cruz Mountains on Byington Estate, finding the perfect terroir to bring vivid flavors of cherry & strawberry to life. 30% 1 year old French Oak adds a hint of toasty vanilla, and enhances the light yet rich mouthfeel of this Pinot Noir. Whole clusters and 100% native yeast were used in fermentation, allowing this wine to fully exhibit all of the natural character that our unique region has to offer.
