Cellar for up to 7 years. No need to decant before serving. Sean Minor initially studied finance at university and only became interested in the world of wine after meeting his wife, Nicole. He then went back to school at UC Davis to learn the ropes and worked for several top wineries including Beaulieu Vineyard in Napa and Benton Lane Winery in Oregon. In 2005 the couple decided it was time to make their own mark on the wine industry and they founded their very own wine label which would deliver both affordability and excellent quality. Rather than purchase their own vineyards, Sean works with long-term partner growers across California and Oregon who all share the couple’s commitment to sustainable agriculture. Grapes for this Pinot are sourced from Napa’s Central Coast and North Coast and are harvested at optimum maturity. Once in the winery they are transferred to stainless steel fermenters and cold soaked for 3 days before fermentation begins. Each particular vineyard parcel is vinified separately and aged in oak barrels before being blended to allow maximum control over the final composition of the cuvee. This allows the winemaking team to create an elegant yet full-flavoured Pinot which is bursting with ripe strawberries and raspberries as well as hints of toast and baking spice.
