Smooth and Silky with Round and Fleshy attributes, the Presqu'ile is a crowd pleaser, with red and black cherry fruit, wild herbs, herbal tea, and more subtle leather, mineral, and cola notes.

Pinot Noir

100% Pee-NO NWAR

Pinot Noir is arguably the most revered grape variety in the world with origins in Burgundy, France where the best expressions can still be found. Pinot Noir is not only a tough grape to grow, it also shows miniscule differences in terroir arguably more than any other grape variety. Stylistically, it is generally higher in acid and lower in tannin but can vary depending on the location, and winemaking technique. It is very versatile with food, and shows a range of flavor from red and black fruit, floral, spice, earth, and mineral qualities.
