A boutique and elegant wine, the 2016 Daria Pinot Noir Cuvee is silky in texture and complex in flavor, with black cherry, wild strawberry and rose petal, fusing perfectly with an exotic undertone of licorice and mint chocolate.
In the glass, bright, light red hues, darker to the edge, medium weight on the palate balanced with bright acidity. Long and luscious finish.
Vineyard Notes
The fruit for our 2016 Daria Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir Cuvee is sourced from Lakeville and Cornerstone vineyards.
Lakeville Vineyard is located off of the Lakeville Highway, carved by winds, at over 500 feet of elevation.
Cornerstone Vineyard is located on the Sonoma Coast. This location, right by the San Pablo Bay, means that cooling breezes are always tempering the warm California sun and the fog guards the vineyards from the most powerful rays for much of the growing season, which creates a unique microclimate and great wines.
The Pinot Noir is crafted from the fames Dijon clones 115, 667, 777 and Martini clone, producing a wine with a dense and elegant backbone, vivid fruit and floral aromatics.
