La Tapatia Pinot Noir Carneros 2016
About the wine
The vibrant Carneros Pinot you'll crave with every meal
- 100% estate grown Pinot from the cool hills of western Napa. This vibrant red tickles your tongue with plums and piles of raspberries.
- With all that juicy fruit, La Tapatia is a dream at the dinner table. It's the perfect balance of savory and sweet, with a slip-down-easy finish - the perfect buddy for a big festive meal!
- Dalia and Everardo are the Carneros dream team. Their families (the Cejas and Robledos) make some of the most famous wines in the region - and when they wanted to make a Pinot of their own, Angel funding let them do just that. With your help, these guys are 3rd generation winemakers!
Best before
Aging Advice: laying the wine down between 5 months up to a year will allow the wine to add subtle richness, elegance and balance!
Serving advice
Store in a cool space until opening. Decanting or aerating prior to sipping would allow passage for a smoother taste profile.
Food match
Would pair lovely with a plethora of foods! Anything from sea bass with crimini mushroooms to carne asada tacos. We paired it with Manchego cheese and it was divine! The nutty, rich cheese was tamed by the wines acidity and the berry flavors were a wonderful compliment. It's a versatile, approachable Pinot Noir that compliments world-wide cuisine and stands well alone. Salud!
