2023 Scribe Carneros Pinot Noir

The 2023 Scribe Carneros Pinot Noir is an elegant and expressive wine that beautifully showcases the cool-climate terroir. Delicate aromas of red cherry, wild strawberry, and rose petal intertwine with subtle hints of earth and spice. The palate is refined and graceful, offering silky textures and a juicy acidity that frames the vibrant fruit flavors. Notes of cranberry, pomegranate, and a touch of orange peel linger on the finish, adding complexity and nuance. This Pinot Noir is a stellar illustration of Scribe's commitment to minimal intervention winemaking, allowing the inherent qualities of the vineyard to shine through.

From the Producer:

ALPINE STRAWBERRY * ALMOND BLOSSOM * CORIANDER 

We've been making this wine since 2007 – our first vintage. Its primary fruit source is nearly 30-year-old California heritage clone Pinot Noir (Martini) planted in the breezy, loamy heart of Carneros. We ferment with native yeast in steel and concrete – about 30% whole cluster – and age 7 months in neutral oak with minimal intervention. It’s a vibrant, fruit driven expression of Carneros and a favorite of early Scribe followers.
