Description

Pinot Noir has always been recognized as one of the noblest red wines, and also one of the most difficult varieties to produce. It has many faces and expressions, from light and fruity to dark and earthy. It is these nuances and qualities that excite Capiaux Cellars to continually pursue the "Holy Grail" of Pinot Noir. Sean Capiaux founded Capiaux Cellars in 1994, and is dedicated to producing single vineyard bottlings of Pinot Noir.


The winemaking style is a blend of classic and contemporary, utilizing cutting edge fermentation equipment paired with natural hands on winemaking, our emphasis is on balance. All the wines are naturally fermented, unfined and unfiltered to preserve innate flavors and aromas. Minimal new oak is used, usually 33%.


This botle is deep red, mostly clear. Big dark red fruit dominates (ripe cherry), with some spice and the tannins are well integrated.


Wine CANNOT be shipped and must be picked up at the Urban School in San Francisco.
