The style of this wine, traditionally known in as oeil-de-perdrix (pronounced: uh-ye-duh-per-dree), translates to “eye of the partridge,” and has been made by my family, using Pinot Noir grapes, for 40 years. Producing this wine requires a gentle hand and a readiness to press the juice quickly once it reaches the desired level of color. It is a true-to-the- roots style that is not just a by-product of . The juice is fermented partially in French barrels, which add enough rich texture and light spice to beautifully complement the generous fruit-filled flavors. Please enjoy this wine very well chilled. Finished with a twist‐top to preserve the crisp, clean aromas and tastes, it is well matched with picnics, served on the patio, light dishes or enjoyed on its own as an aperitif.

TASTING NOTES Pale pink with a copper hue, this wine has a classic “eye of the partridge” color. Citrus-driven aromas carry through to the palate. On entry, bright acidity and flavors of pink grapefruit and lemon zest enliven the orange creamsicle notes, while hints of dried apricot and sweet spice add complexity. The brightness verges on minerality, but there is so much weight that the richness balances out the firm acidity and carries the flavors of dried fruit through the long-lasting finish.
