2018 Pinot Noir, Kaj's Reserve
2018 Pinot Noir, Kaj's Reserve
The Pinot's lovely, rich garnet color gives a hint of what's to come when you stick your nose in the glass and get lots of deep, intense fruit flavors. You'll enjoy plenty of blueberry, Bing cherry, mocha and vanilla notes as you swirl the glass. Like the nose, the palate with the first sip has a rch entry dominated initially by plum, pluot, and blueberry. The rich welcome and gorgeous silky tannins let the smoke and spice notes fromt he oak shine through. It has a beautiful medium body at the moment that will develop into an even bigger flavor on the palte in a year or so.
We grow the grapes for our Pinot in a 2-acre bloc at the very top of the Diamond Mine Vineyard. This spot receives the afternoon breeze coming all the way from Lake Berryessa 22 miles away, creating a micro climate that allows this capricious grape to thrive.
Pairs well with grilled salmon and soft cheeses. Try with a mushroom risotto or a burger made from Six Sigma ground lamb.
100% Pinot Noir, grown at Six Sigma Ranch. Aged 9 months in French oak barrels, 20% new. Alcohol 13.2%. Production 200 cases.
