Upon opening the 2020 Pitagora, the first thing one notices are alluring floral notes on the nose, accompanied by aromas of baking spice and cocoa powder. Lush, cherry and blackberry bramble notes on the palate with just a hint of clove and caramel lead to a long, juicy finish.

The composition of this blend reflects varietals grown in different nested appellations of Sonoma County. Each varietal and nested appellation adds unique characteristics to the finished wine. This vintage highlight’s Cabernet Sauvignon’s dark fruits and texture. Negroamaro contributes acidity, and intense fruit aromas, and Petit Verdot adds flavors of black plum, cherry, and floral notes to the blend.

The warm spring in 2020 made for early bud break in most regions, followed by a cool March and April, with variable temperatures. Temperatures levelled off and stayed consistently warm throughout June and July and increased again in August. During harvest, we ran micro ferments to test for quality, and found that the 2020 vintage wines are tasting exceptional!
