Cuvaison Spire Pinot Noir 2023 Review
The grapes for Cuvaison’s Spire bottling are sourced from the upper slopes of Tai Vineyard in Napa’s Los Carneros region, showing the elegance of wines made from higher elevations. It’s focused on the nose with aromas of cherries, vanilla, and spice from 14 months aging in French oak barrels. The seamless harmony between fruit depth and acidity on the palate make this an undeniably Carneros wine.
