Royal St Robert
Pinot Noir
Royal St. Robert Cuvée is named in the honor of our grandfather who taught us to be committed to excellence. This bottling is a selection of our finest barrels to represent this world class site in wine. The cuvée comes 100% from a cool hillside vineyard just north west of Freestone on the Sonoma Coast.
Fresh cut wild strawberries fill the bowl with sweet resin, white tea, thyme, forest floor and rose petals. The texture is rich, complex with silky fine-grained tannins leading to a long sumptuous finish.
65% whole cluster • 11 day maceration • Wild-native fermentation • Aged 10 months in 60 gallon French barrels (No new oak) along with 1 puncheon • Bottled without fining or filtration • 13.3% Alcohol
