Cuvaison ExTerra Pinot Noir *Tai Vineyard* Napa Valley, Los Carneros 2022

THE PARTNERSHIP

Cuvaison was founded in 1969, and Fall Creek Vineyards in 1975. Both played key roles as pioneers and leaders in their regions, and both have been hailed as benchmarks for quality in their home appellations. Because Fall Creek Vineyards is always striving to enhance its wine club experience, the creation of the Cuvaison ExTerra Pinot Noir was a wonderful opportunity to provide something unique and special to its members.

This Pinot Noir's complexity is a testament to the early harvest, which preserved characteristics of bright acidity, fresh red fruit, and subtle earthiness. This wine offers notes of plum, rose petals, wild strawberry, and allspice while the palate gives way to vibrant raspberry and red fruit flavors mingling with Rainier cherries, and delicate hints of jasmine tea alongside a touch of anise add depth.
