Aged 17 months in 15% new oak, the 2016 Pinot Noir Bien Nacido Vineyard shows the more mineral, seaside, marine-influenced style of this vineyard beautifully. Black cherries raspberries, crushed rocks, spice box, and tons of salty minerality all flow to a tight, vibrant Pinot Noir that still shows the purity, balance, and suppleness that makes this vintage so special. It's a beautiful wine that has both nuance and intensity.
