2019 Kanpai Mizu No Oto Pinot Noir
Kanpai is Steve Matthiasson's Napa project, and Mizu No Oto is Japanese for the sound of water. The 2019 Pinot Noir comes from the Dona Margarita vineyard, a cool site that gives the wine refreshing acidity and silky tannins. It was inspired by the Sonoma Coast, and it shows in the forest floor and ripe bramble berry notes. Serve it with duck, cedar-plank salmon, or a mushroom risotto.
