Our Début Cru is the first Pinot Noir released from the new
vintage, crafted from select parcels that highlight the charm, immediacy, and aromatic lift of specific estate-grown clones. The 2024 vintage leans heavily on the heirloom selection known as Swan Clone, complemented by Mt. Eden selection, Dijon 943, and Dijon 667 to complete the blend. Aged for eight months in French oak, the wine opens with vibrant notes of fresh raspberry,
pomegranate, and lychee. On the palate, it gains depth and texture, revealing layers of Damson plum and black cherry, finishing with subtle hints of cardamom
and allspice.
