Decoded Pinot Noir Napa Valley
Decoded
United States - California - Napa Valley

On the nose, you are greeted with enticing notes of ripe red berries, such as cherry and raspberry, along with hints of floral undertones like violet and rose petals. Flavors of black cherry, plum, and cranberry dance on the palate, complemented by nuances of vanilla, clove, and a touch of toasty oak from barrel aging.

Vinification
hand-harvest in the cool early morning to preserve freshness and aromatics.
The grapes were gently destemmed and cold-soaked for several days to enhance color extraction and develop nuanced fruit character.
Fermentation took place in small, open-top vessels with regular punch-downs to ensure balanced tannin integration and expressive aromatics.
After pressing, the wine was transferred to French oak barrels—30–40% new—for maturation over 9 to 12 months, allowing subtle oak influence and texture to complement the vibrant red fruit profile.
Pairings

Roasted Chicken with herbs and wild mushrooms or pork tenderloin with fig or balsamic glaze.
