Introduction:
The 2024 Pavette Pinot Noir is a lively, fruit-forward California red that captures the variety’s bright charm and silky texture. It’s a supple, easy-drinking Pinot that blends red fruit freshness with a soft, polished structure — ideal for casual sipping or everyday dining.

Terroir:
Sourced from select coastal vineyards throughout Santa Barbara County, including areas influenced by cool Pacific breezes, which help retain acidity and aromatic purity. The combination of sun-soaked days and cool nights produces balanced fruit with refined texture and freshness.

Appearance:
Vivid ruby red with a translucent rim and medium intensity; clear and youthful.

Nose:
Fresh aromas of red cherries, raspberries, and cranberries mingle with hints of baking spice, forest floor, and vanilla.

Palate:
Medium-bodied with ripe red fruits — cherries, strawberries, and pomegranates — complemented by soft tannins and a touch of black tea. The texture is smooth and balanced, supported by bright acidity and a whisper of oak.

Finish:
Clean and gently persistent, offering lingering notes of red berry and spice with a delicate earthy tone.

Food Pairing Suggestions:

• Meat dish: Herb-roasted chicken, seared duck breast, or pork tenderloin with cranberry glaze

• Vegetarian option: Wild mushroom risotto or roasted beet salad with goat cheese

• Cheese pairing: Mild cheddar, brie, or young Gouda
