2019 Cuvée Constantin Pinot Noir
In Stock
Cuvée Constantin is a nod to one of the great Flâneurs. In his essay "The Painter of Modern Life", Charles Boudelaire writes of a journalist turned street painter, a fixture on the sprawling promenades of Paris: Constantin Guys. As Constantin would wander the streets, searching for inspiration, our winemaker, Grant, walks the cellar to put together this cuvée every year.

93 Points, Wine Spectator:
"Generous and vibrant, with multilayered raspberry and cherry flavors that take on cinnamon and rose petal accents as this glides toward polished tannins. Drink now through 2030." - Tim Fish
