2023 Tula Vista Pinot Noir
Our Tula Vista vineyard is located just west of the Donum Estate on Ramal Road, a few short miles from the Château. We purchased this 70 acre site in 2012. In early 2014 we finished re-establishing the vineyard by planting 29 acres of Chardonnay and 22 acres of Pinot Noir. This site of rolling hills and clay loam soil perched right on the edge of the San Pablo Bay is exposed to tremendous wind and fog, and is guaranteed to offer us an exciting new element of Carneros terroir.

Tasting Notes
Aromas of baked cherry and boysenberry meld with hints of loamy earth and tobacco leaf, balanced by warm, toasty notes from extended barrel aging. The palate opens with a delightful, juicy entry of dark fruit and sweet cherries, building on a cedar underscore - through a velvety mid-palate to a long, polished finish.
Food Pairings
The Tula Vista Pinot Noir is a superior wine for pairing with food, with its versatile flavor profile. It is particularly well suited to dishes with mushrooms or meats, and is a great selection for a holiday table.
