Burgundian elegance meets Sonoma richness in this ethereal, truffle-laced Pinot.
Red plum and tea leaf open delicately. Saffron threads weave through forest floor earthiness. Mid-palate reveals truffle complexity—mineral, haunting. Silky tannins carry lingering spice. This vintage shows remarkable restraint for Sonoma warmth. Cellar five years minimum. Classic cool-vintage expression from historic estate.
