2024 The Vice "Torie's Vineyard" Pinot Noir, Carneros

The 2024 The Vice Torie’s Vineyard Pinot Noir, Carneros is a vibrant, cool-climate California Pinot drawn from the fog-influenced Torie’s Vineyard in the Carneros AVA, where tempered heat and well-drained soils help preserve bright fruit and delicate aromatics.

It opens with lifted notes of red cherry, raspberry, rose petal and spice, framed by subtle earth and herbal tones, while the palate is medium-bodied with lively acidity, fine, silky tannins and a fresh, focused finish. 

This Pinot’s balance of juicy fruit and savory complexity makes it a versatile partner at the table, pairing especially well with roasted duck, grilled salmon, mushroom-based dishes or pork tenderloin, and it’s enjoyable now while also offering short-term cellaring potential for added nuance.
