ZD Pinot Noir, Carneros

Early rains and a long, moderate, dry growing season with very few heat spikes allowed for optimal ripening conditions for our Carneros Pinot Noir. The grape sugars came up slowly, flavors developed beautifully, and the characteristic bright acidity of Pinot Noir was preserved. Some may call it an “uneventful” harvest, which almost always makes for the best wine quality!
