The goal behind our reserve bottling of Pinot Noir “Sapience” (formerly “Nils”) is to showcase the powerful expression of Pinot Noir on our site. Sapience is an old French word meaning “good taste, intelligence or wisdom”. This label highlights one of the oldest oak trees on our property, one that we feel have seen and experienced so much in its life, evoking a kind of great wisdom and power over the property as it supports our farming endeavors. For barrel selection, we seek to highlight structure and concentration, while maintaining balance and focus.

The grapes were fermented using exclusively native yeast (both primary and malolactic), with approximately 10% whole-cluster. The wine was aged for 19 months in French oak barrels, 9% of which were new.

262 cases produced.
