Treillage 2023 Pinot Noir Los Carneros, California

This exceptional wine is part of our Fine Wine Collection.

Winemaking Winemakers hand select grapes from vineyard blocks across Carneros to capture the region’s diverse soils and cool, maritime-influenced climate. Precision viticulture, including meticulous canopy management, ensures slow, even ripening and preserves the grape’s natural acidity and aromatics. Fermentation takes place in small stainless steel tanks using a mix of native and selected yeasts, followed by gentle punchdowns and malolactic fermentation for a supple texture. Aged in carefully chosen French oak, the wine develops subtle spice and vanilla notes while maintaining its elegant red fruit core.

Vintage The 2023 vintage in Carneros was marked by a long, temperate growing season, ideal for cultivating Pinot Noir with precision and poise. Cool marine breezes from San Pablo Bay moderated the warm summer days, allowing grapes to ripen slowly while retaining vibrant acidity. Careful vineyard selection and canopy management throughout 2023 ensured even maturation across diverse soil types, from clay-rich to well-draining loam. Gentle fermentation techniques and minimal intervention in the cellar preserved the clarity and character of this exceptional vintage.

Pairing Logic This Pinot Noir pairs beautifully with seared duck breast, cedar-plank salmon, or wild mushroom risotto, where its juicy red fruit and velvety texture can take center stage. Creamy polenta, roasted beets, and dishes featuring goat cheese or truffle oil will draw out its Burgundian finesse and subtle vanilla undertones. For a plant-based pairing, consider lentil and walnut-stuffed peppers or roasted squash with a balsamic glaze to echo the wine’s soft structure and lingering finish.
