Capiaux Cellars Pinot Noir

The pinnacle of single-vineyard California Pinot Noir bottlings exists here, at Capiaux Cellars. Winemaking is led by Sean Capiaux, who founded the winery in 1994. True Burgundian tradition and style takes the forefront, the goal being to truely express the unique terroir from which they came and to have the inherent flavors of the grape and land be the leading attributes rather than new oak, unnatural additives, and influences. Winemaking techniques include natural fermentation, limited amounts of new oak, the rare addition of any acid, nitrogen, or other nutrients, as well as bottling the wine unfined & unfiltered. A memorable experience for any true pinophile!!

 “Another stunning effort is the 2007 Pinot Noir Garys’ Vineyard. Black fruits, smoked herbs, and charcoal characteristics emerge from this full-bodied wine. With beautiful texture, opulence, purity, and length, this sumptuous Pinot Noir can be consumed over the next 4-5 years. Sean Capiaux (who is also the winemaker for O’Shaughnessy on Howell Mountain) makes his own wines under the Capiaux Cellars label. He appears to have hit home runs with these early released 2007 Pinot Noirs, but he deserves high marks for his 2006s, a far more challenging vintage for this varietal. $55” 91 Points Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate, Issue #180.
