Winemaker Notes
The goal behind our reserve bottling of Pinot Noir “Sapience” (formerly “Nils”) is to showcase the powerful expression of Pinot Noir on our site. Sapience is an old French word meaning “good taste, intelligence or wisdom”. This label highlights one of the oldest oak trees on our property, one that we feel has seen and experienced so much in its life, evoking a kind of great wisdom and power over the property as it supports our farming endeavors. For this barrel selection, we seek to highlight structure and concentration, while maintaining balance and focus.
