2017 Artesa "Limited Release" Carneros Pinot Noir

Bid on this bottle of 2017 Artesa “Limited Release” Carneros Pinot Noir, a small-production Pinot Noir from the striking hilltop Carneros winery founded in 1991 by Spain’s historic Codorníu Raventós family, whose winemaking legacy dates back nearly five centuries. Grown in the cool, wind-swept Carneros AVA, where fog and breezes from the San Pablo Bay give Pinot Noir bright acidity and vibrant fruit, the Limited Release bottlings showcase the estate’s finest lots. Expect black cherry, raspberry and red plum layered with rose petal, cola, baking spice, forest floor and toasty French oak, with a silky, medium-bodied palate, fine tannins and a long, savory finish. An elegant, food-friendly Carneros Pinot Noir, ideal with salmon, duck and mushroom dishes.
