Sipsy
Robert Mondavi Napa Valley Pinot Noir is sourced from cooler Napa Valley vineyard sites where morning fog and gentle maritime influence allow the grapes to ripen gradually. This extended hang time preserves natural acidity, aromatic lift, and nuanced varietal character, supporting Pinot Noir’s delicate expression.
Winemaking focuses on subtle extraction and precise fermentation to maintain clarity and balance. Barrel aging in French oak is applied judiciously to provide texture and gentle spice without overwhelming the fruit. The overarching approach prioritizes harmony and elegance over intensity, allowing terroir and vintage expression to shine.
On the palate, red cherry, raspberry, and subtle floral notes unfold with a layered, silky texture. Acidity is precise, carrying the fruit and guiding the wine through a polished, lingering finish. Robert Mondavi Napa Valley Pinot Noir delivers a composed, site-driven expression that embodies balance, restraint, and the transparent character of Napa terroir.
