A bit brooding at first. Baking spices, blueberry and cassis, reveal lifted red fruits and cinnamon, wrapped up in toasty oak. The palate is medium bodied with juicy red cherries, soft acid and fine chalky tannins.

Pinot Noir was harvested over 10 days, picking blocks at optimum ripeness. All fruit is handled gently in the winery, where blocks and sub-blocks are kept separate all the way to blending. The fruit for Catalina Sounds is mostly destemmed and left at ambient temperature on skins for several days prior to fermentation. Ferments are allowed to reach max. 32 degrees with gentle handling each day and then left on their skins for about 7 days before draining and pressing to French oak, about 15-20% new. The wine was blended in February and bottled in March prior to vintage the following year.
