Robert Sinskey Vineyards Pinot Noir Los Carneros 2017 750 ML

The 2017 vintage has an infectious bounce to its step. Bright aromas and flavors of ripe, red berry and plum set the stage of deliciousness alongside notes of lavender, flowering sage, blood orange and intoxicating spicy hints of cinnamon, cardamom and vanilla bean. For all of the wine’s playful juiciness and voluptuousness, the finish takes a classic, serious tone of depth and complexity.\n \n Producer Information\n Robert Sinskey Vineyards is a Napa Valley wine estate located in the Stags Leap District. The estate was founded by Robert Sinskey in 1988 and has been practicing certified organic and biodynamic farming since 1991. The estate is made up of 81 hectares (200 acres) of vineyard land in Stags Leap District and Carneros. Most of Robert Sinskey's wines are made from Carneros-grown fruit – primarily Pinot Noir as well as Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Muscat, Pinot Blanc, Pinot Gris and Zinfandel. The winery, however, is based in Stags Leap District. The estate received extensive re-planting after the Atlas Fire of 2017. The flagship of the wine portfolio is the Cabernet Sauvignon varietal wine, sourced from the Stags Leap vineyard called SLD. Grapes are almost completely dry-farmed, in order to reduce yields, leading to small clusters of grapes with thick skins. SLD is aged in 40-percent new oak for up to two years prior to bottling. The remaining Robert Sinskey portfolio is a combination of single-vineyard, varietal wines and a library collection of cellar-aged wines. The Commander Zinskey is an innovative release of a classic Napa Valley Zinfandel that is illustrated with a new heroic scene inspired by sci-fi tales.
