Winemaker Notes

Saintsbury Toyon Farm Pinot Noir offers a great level of acidity with notes of anise and violets on the nose and undertones of five spice, white pepper and briar on the palate.

Pairs well with duck confit, mushu pork, roasted Ham with red pepper jelly.

Professional Ratings

  • 92
    This is a standout of the vintage from the producer, earthy and stemmy in complex cherry, strawberry, forest and plum. Within the context of fruit and pine, it supports lively acidity and a lushness that shows its full-bodied fervor.

Saintsbury Winery Image
Saintsbury specializes in Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. The Chardonnay is fermented and aged in barrels coopered in Burgundy. Three styles of Pinot Noir are produced: "Garnet" is a fresh, lively wine full of cherry and raspberry fruit; the wine simply called Carneros Pinot Noir is a more classic rendition; and the Reserve Pinot Noir is the richest and most fully flavored of the vintage.

As early as the 1970s Carneros became known as a source of terrific Pinot Noir, and was one of the first California regions to gain such a reputation. The combination of sunny days, cooling fog and thin clay soils are tailor-made for the variety. Another factor in Pinot Noir’s prominent place here is vintners’ willingness to experiment widely. The history of the grape in Carneros is marked by continuous research into clonal variations, viticultural techniques and site selection. Careful evaluation over time has revealed a signature flavor profile as well. Complex aromas and flavors of cherry, red berry, spice, earth and cola appear time and again in Carneros Pinot Noir. To this day the appellation remains one of California’s standard bearers for the variety.
