Bread & Butter Reserve Pinot Noir
Share
Availability:In stock
The 2021 California vintage is expected to be the best vintage in recent years. Although drought conditions reduced grape yields, the harvest yielded red wine grapes of the highest quality, including well-developed tannins and concentrated fruit.
Grapes harvested in mid-September produced ripe, juicy flavors.
Silky, delicate aromas of strawberry, American cherry, and other red fruits aromas harmoniously blend with baking spices, vanilla, and subtle earthy aromas. Smooth on the tongue, with beautiful acidity, depth and complexity. This wine is delicate and lingers on the palate with a long finish.

Bread & Butter is a reference to the craft of winemaking.
Bread = Oak. Butter = Malolactic Fermentation.
The type of oak, origin, producer, level of toast, time on oak, and racking all play a vital role in developing bread-like flavors and texture of the wine. Butter characters come from malolactic fermentation. The conversion of malic acid to lactic acid produces rich, buttery flavors and changes the texture of the wine to be more creamy and soft. These factors work together to best compliment the complexity of fruit and expression of terroir produced in the vineyard.
