Our Block wines represent the most intense expression of fruit grown on our Carneros Estate Vineyard. Block F5 Pinot Noir occupies the western slope just above our Carneros Estate Winery. Planted to the Dijon clone 115 and fashioned by the chilling fog. The block always produces a wine of stunning character. This lot is farmed organically. Estate bottled by Cuvaison Estate Wines.
