Byron Kosuge knows Carneros as well as anyone alivehe spent fifteen years making the Pinots at Saintsbury before going out on his own in 2004. This bottling blends his Carneros vineyard sources into a wine that captures the foggy, wind-cooled character of the region: red-fruited, savory, light on its feet. Restrained oak, early picking, and patient barrel time are Byron’s signatures, and they’re all here. A Carneros Pinot without bombast or showiness, just the place speaking clearly.
