“The Four Vineyards Pinot Noir is a romantic vision. Culled from RSV’s four organic vineyards on the Napa Valley side of the Carneros, these vineyards are planted with “heirloom” massale selections of Pinot Noir that have been refined by trial and error over the last thirty years. These heirlooms, in combination with late ripening French clones, provide the palette to create an elegant, balanced, and ethereal Pinot Noir.” More at RobertSinskey.com
