Description
Robert Sinskey Vineyards, 2016 Pinot Noir, Three Amigos Vineyard, Los Carneros, Napa Valley, 1.5L
A complex, youthful rendition of the Three Amigos Pinot Noir from RSV's organically farmed vineyards. Pomegranate and cranberry meet hibiscus, sage and black tea, creating a high-tone bouquet of classic Three Amigos Vineyard aromas that express the true potential of the three adjacent vineyards in the cool, southern Carneros growing region of Napa. The lush fruit quality of the 2016 vintage delivers flavors of juicy red plum, ripe summer red berries, citrus peel and spice for a mid palate that is both luxurious and welcoming at this young age. The vineyard's cooler, fog mornings and wind-swept afternoons are expressed in a resolve of sturdiness and tension in the finish that ensures this vintage will age gracefully and complement cuisine from any season featuring a wide range of ingredients like roasted eggplant, salmon, duck and lamb.

The story of how a wine is made is as important as the wine itself. Robert Sinskey Vineyards believes that winegrowing begins with the care of the soil. Since 1991, Robert Sinskey Vineyards has been practicing the "whole farm" philosophy of interrelationships based on Rudolph Steiner's 1928 lecture "Agriculture." This approach taps into the rhythms of nature to embrace biodiversity and encourage natural processes in growing healthy grapes that help craft expressive, vibrant and living wines.
Robert Sinskey Vineyards is dedicated to the agrarian, culinary experience. Sheep graze the vineyards and provide wool, pelts and meat. Edible landscape, extensive culinary gardens and fruit orchards cover the winery grounds and vineyards. Beehives dot the backside of Robert Sinskey Vineyard's Capa Vineyard where they pollinate the orchards and provide honey. Robert Sinskey Vineyards has even planted an experimental truffle orchard with English Oaks and Filberts… because elegant, balanced wines should be served with produce and meats from the gardens and/or artisan purveyors and prepared in Robert Sinskey Vineyard’s Vineyard Kitchen.
