Product Info

Terroir
Sourced from select vineyards across California, this Pinot Noir is crafted to highlight the variety's approachable, fruit-driven character while drawing on the diverse climates and soils of the state. Cool coastal influences help preserve freshness and aromatic lift, while warmer inland sites contribute ripe fruit and supple texture. The result is a balanced, easy-drinking Pinot Noir with broad appeal.

Winemaking & Technical Notes
Produced using a handcrafted approach, the wine is made to emphasize varietal purity, balance, and consistency. Careful vinification and restrained oak influence allow the bright fruit character to remain the focus, while subtle barrel aging adds texture and complexity without overwhelming the wine.

Tasting Notes
Bright ruby in the glass, the 2023 opens with aromas of red cherry, raspberry, and subtle baking spice. The palate is medium-bodied and smooth, offering fresh red berry flavors supported by soft tannins, balanced acidity, and gentle notes of oak and spice. The finish is clean, approachable, and well-balanced.

Food Pairing & Service
A versatile Pinot Noir, this wine pairs beautifully with roast chicken, grilled salmon, mushroom dishes, pork tenderloin, and charcuterie. Its approachable style also makes it an excellent choice for casual gatherings or enjoying on its own. Serve slightly below room temperature to highlight its freshness and aromatic character.

Cellaring Potential
Designed primarily for enjoyment in its youth, the 2023 Canvas Pinot Noir will drink well over the next 3–5 years, maintaining its vibrant fruit, smooth texture, and balanced profile.
