Scribe Carneros Pinot Noir 2024

This has been becoming more balanced in its execution over the last handful of vintages, which we fully support. The nose opens with light red cherry, cedar wood shavings, soy, and subtle smoky bacon fat. On the palate this is balanced and pretty with savory notes of earth, soy and Charcuterie with high toned and crunchy red fruits. MK D&M Tasting Notes April 2026

CRITICAL ACCLAIM:

“Positively gorgeous, bursting with pure red berry fruit, rich cedarwood spices, a hint of black truffle and deep forest underbrush with soaring tannins on the palate that are neatly compact and tightly framed together, underscored by racy, crisp and crunchy acidity. A dynamic, brooding wine with a lightness that comes from the bright acid tension.” - 94 PTS, DECANTER

PRODUCER NOTES:

OVERVIEW: “We look out on the Petaluma Gap from the Hacienda front porch and like clockwork, we can watch a thick layer of fog from the Pacific crawl through this break in the mountain range each evening and recede with the morning sun. The vineyards in this unique AVA are treated to the dramatic swings of the coast. The cold nights and warm days make for thick skins and fascinatingly complex Pinot Noir fruit. We’ve been farming distinctive vineyards in the heart of this AVA for over 10 years to make this intriguing wine that knows both the complexity of the ocean chill and the fruit-forward pleasure of valley sun.”
