About this product
The estate's flagship Pinot Noir — 'Ten' because it's from the 10 best barrels of the vintage. Intensely saline and mineral, with dark cherry, smoked herbs, dried flowers, and a long, briny mineral finish from the Pacific's influence. Among California's most distinctive Pinot Noir.
