2022 Baileyana Edna Valley Pinot Noir

 / 750ml
Tasting notes
Specs

Exemplifying the vivid excellence of the Edna Valley region, this Pinot Noir exudes expressive dark fruit notes, currants and blueberries, along with a hint of vanilla and cherry cola. The wine has a brilliant acidity that is balanced by fleshy notes of ripe cherry and brown sugar, along with soft, supple tannins that lead to a long, memorable finish.

92pts, Wine Enthusiast: “Dark strawberry, sagebrush and turned soil aromas show on the nose of this always reliable bottling. There’s firm structure on the tip of the sip, and that tension extends through the riper black and red cherry flavors, with light herbs showing toward the finish.” – Matt Kettmann, Nov 2021

Vintage & Winemaking

The Art of Making Our Wine

Throughout the millenia for which winemaking has existed, the humble grape has always been the star of the show. Its journey from a simple fruit to a complex, beautiful wine, is tastfully shepherded by the winemaker, asserting themself into the natural process while being mindful not to overly interfere with the wonder that is fermentation.
