Carneros Pinot Noir from Mitsuko's Vineyard—cool-climate site producing medium-bodied wine with silky tannins.
Mitsuko's Vineyard sits in the heart of Carneros, the fog-swept subregion straddling Napa and Sonoma counties where Pacific marine layer moderates ripening and preserves acidity in Pinot Noir. The vineyard's east-facing aspect and shallow clay-loam soils—typical of Carneros' marine sedimentary geology—encourage slow, even phenolic maturation.
Clos Pegase's winemaking emphasizes the site's natural elegance: cool fermentation in temperature-controlled vessels and restrained oak aging allow the vineyard's red-fruit character and mineral spine to remain prominent rather than masked by wood influence.
The result is a medium-bodied expression with the silky, fine-grained tannin structure Carneros Pinot Noir is prized for—a counterpoint to the riper, fuller styles of warmer Napa Valley sites.
Drink 2024–2032.
