When we selected our small parcel in the heart of Carneros 33 years ago, we knew it was destined to produce great wines. Our 2020 Brut Rosé, 2021 Estate Pinot Noir, and 2020 Estate Brut Cuvée embody the depth and breadth of our six estate vineyards translated through masterful winemaking and presented in our signature blue box.
This gift features our...
2020 Brut Rosé: A favorite among our enthusiasts, this wine expresses great balance while emphasizing fruity and floral characteristics. On the nose, the 2020 vintage welcomes the senses with aromas of potpourri, rose petal, and peaches. Flavors of mandarin, tangerine, raspberry, and ginger evoke the bliss of a perfect summer day through the long, silky finish.
2021 Estate Pinot Noir: This wine packs a range of delicious fruit and savory flavors. Beginning with the nose, one encounters subtle red fruits, coastal fern, and tobacco leaf. The palate delivers vibrant red fruits of cranberry and raspberry intertwined with silky creamy texture, followed by notes of spice and forest floor on the warming finish. Ten months of barrel age lends a sweetness that balances the supple tannin from this exceptional vintage producing an intense full bodied Pinot Noir. The hallmark of Domaine Carneros Pinot Noir is the texture, and this wine delivers with a supple and rich mouthfeel.
2020 Estate Brut: Our Estate Brut is a small cuvée comprised only of grapes grown in our own vineyards. The newest release features notes of poached pear, crisp apple, yuzu, honeydew melon, and lemon sorbet with a toasty finish that lingers on the palate, begging for another sip. This winery exclusive has been aged to perfection yet will enjoy additional evolution in the cellar over the next decade.
