Our 2022 Califa Pinot Noir exudes a captivating allure. Its lifted nose is dominated by ripe red cherries and raspberry, mingled with pomegranate, and dried bay leaf. Subtle notes of vanilla and toasted hazelnut elevate its elegance. A soft palate reveals balanced tannins, hinting at depth and balance.
Lush yet delicately poised, it pairs perfectly with creamy brie or tender lamb shank.
Much of the fruit for our Califa bottling comes from the eastern slopes of our famed Morrito block so it shares some of the characteristics of our flagship pinot. We also blend in fruit from some of the best blocks on the northern edge of our property to make this wine a little more forward and open. We are crafting a wine here that is the best combination of power and pleasure.
