Reata Description
Three County
Our Pinot Noir is blended from Three Counties to ensure it is fruit-forward with well-integrated tannins. Every year, our Winemaker Linda Trotta hand-selects vineyards from each county to complete this blend. The portion from each county depends on the growing conditions of that vintage.
SAN BENITO COUNTY brings structure as well as darker fruit and earthy notes.
MONTEREY COUNTY allows for a nice texture on the middle palette.
SONOMA COUNTY imparts elegance and a red fruit profile into the wine.
In the Winery
This wine is macerated on the skins for a portion of time ranging from 10-14 days before fermentation. Daily pump-overs are used to extract flavor and color. A short fermentation at a cooler temperature preserves the ripe fruit flavors. The new French Oak barrels, used for a significant portion of this blend, provides an integration of oak notes including sweet spices and vanilla.
Wine Enthusiast: 90 Points
"This savory, minerally, nervy wine goes for earthy, herbal aromas and steely, tart fruit flavors like bay leaf, black tea and rhubarb, giving it a distinctly different profile. A full body and light tannins add good texture."
