2023 Tula Vista Pinot Noir

In Stock

Pin It

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.

Wine Profile

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.

Vineyard Notes

We began the 2023 growing season with replenished reservoirs and saturated soils due to a tremendous 40” of rainfall after years of drought. The combination of record rainfall and a cool summer climate allowed for extended hang time and yielded a significant crop. Harvest of the Pinot Noir destined for our still wines began on September 19th and continued at a slow and steady pace through mid-October, allowing for extended flavor development in the berries. The 2023 vintage with its stellar growing conditions and abundant yields resulted in beautifully crafted wines to celebrate for years to come.

Winemaker Notes

Food Pairing Notes

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.
