ABOUT THIS WINE
The Reata Pinot Noir Three County 2019 is a red wine from Jamieson Ranch Vineyards, a blend of grapes sourced from Sonoma, Monterey, and San Benito Counties in California. This 'Three County' approach allows the winemaker to select vineyards from each area annually, with the proportions varying based on the vintage's growing conditions. Sonoma County contributes elegance and red fruit, Monterey County adds mid-palate texture, and San Benito County provides structure and darker fruit notes. Jamieson Ranch Vineyards is situated in Napa Valley and is known for its lodge-style architecture and scenic views. The estate vineyards benefit from the cooling influence of the San Pablo Bay, which is favorable for growing Pinot Noir.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Reata Pinot Noir Three County 2019 is produced by Jamieson Ranch Vineyards. The winemaking process involves sourcing grapes from three distinct Californian counties: Sonoma, Monterey, and San Benito. The grapes are macerated on their skins for 10-14 days, with daily pump-overs used for flavor and color extraction. Fermentation is conducted at cooler temperatures to preserve ripe fruit flavors. A portion of the blend is aged in new French Oak barrels, which contributes to the integration of oak notes like sweet spices and vanilla.
