Tasting Notes:
The 2021 Cattleya Cuvee Number Eight Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir is a wine that exudes elegance and sophistication. With its deep ruby red color and enticing aromas, this wine is sure to captivate your senses from the moment it is poured into your glass.
On the nose, this Pinot Noir offers a perfumed and unique bouquet of mulberries, orange slices, sweet spices, burdock root, and lotus seeds. These complex aromas create a truly enchanting experience, drawing you in with each sniff.
As you take your first sip, you will be greeted by a medium-bodied wine with sleek tannins and a soft, supple texture. The palate is filled with plump and moreish flavors that reflect the enticing aromas detected on the nose. The wine's juicy black cherry and black currant flavors are complemented by wonderful violet and rose petal undertones.
The concentration of fruit in this wine is exceptional, and its core of delicious berries continues to shine through the sip and lingers on the finish. The wine is lightly tannic, adding structure and balance to the overall experience.

A semi-opaque, deep ruby with a purple hint, the 2021 Pinot Noir Cuvee Number Eight takes on a darker profile, with wet stone, blackberry, pepper, and grilled rosemary. Full-bodied, it brings more structure, with ripe tannins, iron-rich earth, and kirsch as well as fresh lift on the finish. Drink 2025-2035.
