2024 Elizabeth Rose Yountville Pinot Noir

Aromas of bright cherry, ripe raspberry, rose petal, and bergamot tea lead into a fresh, light-to-medium-bodied palate. Flavors of Bing cherry, strawberry, and cranberry mesh with subtle accents of tea leaf, forest floor, and warm cedar. The texture is silky and soft, balanced by lively natural acidity through a clean, rounded finish.

Grapes are organically farmed and harvested by hand from specific block selections. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to preserve primary red fruit character. The wine ages in French oak barrels, incorporating a small percentage of new oak to frame the fruit structure and add subtle spice notes while maintaining a light, accessible style.

Grapes are grown exclusively at the family-owned Block House Vineyard, located on the valley floor in the Yountville AVA of Napa Valley. Planted on well-draining silt and clay-loam soils, the vineyard sits in a cooler southern corridor where fog and afternoon breezes from San Pablo Bay temper daytime heat, allowing for steady, extended ripening while preserving fresh natural acidity.
