Winemaker Comments

The 2021 Pinot Noir from Zeka Vineyards is a beautifully structured and expressive wine that reflects the unique terroir of Bennett Valley. It opens with inviting aromas of ripe cherry, blackberry, and subtle hints of spice and earth. On the palate, the wine is rich yet elegant, with silky tannins, balanced acidity, and layers of red and dark fruit flavors complemented by notes of oak and vanilla from careful barrel aging. The finish is long, smooth, and refined. This vintage has earned outstanding recognition, including 96 points at the Las Vegas Global Wine Awards 2023, highlighting its exceptional quality and craftsmanship. Perfect for pairing with roasted meats, fine cheeses, or enjoying on its own.
