Waterstone Pinot Noir Carneros 2016

Introduction

Waterstone Winery was formed in 2000 with the simple concept of creating luxury wines at affordable prices. Bringing together previously established relationships with Napa Valley growers and vintners, the winery set out to develop balanced wines of varietal character through intelligent sourcing. Preferring to focus on the wine itself rather than the accumulation of land and facilities, Waterstone owns no vineyards, nor does it own the facility where their wines are made. Dedicated winemaking, strong relationships with top growers and long-term grape contracts are the keys to Waterstones quality and success.

The 2016 Pinot Noir reveals black raspberry, spiced oak, sweet tobacco, bitter orange, and cocoa greet the senses. Silky tannins, bright cherry, and juicy pomegranate persist in the wine’s long finish.
