Timbre Pinot Noir

“TIMBRE is the “color” of music. It is what makes two voices sound different, even when singing the same song.” Timbre winery founders Joshua Klapper and Alex Katz, are all about terroir - focus on the place where the wine comes from and let it shine. Their winemaking is the music in the wine. Sourced from different terroirs in Salinas Valley in the Monterey AVA , California. Sandy loam soils creates elegance; Steep slopes & cooling ocean creates fresh acidity. The wine is a mix of co-fermented “Don’t poke the bear” Pinot Noir (which is a finicky grape) clones creating a balanced wine. Made at Mission Ranch vineyard, aged for 10 months in neutral French oak.

The Timbre Opening Act Pinot Noir 2016 has a rich ruby red color with aromas of fruity black raspberry, cinnamon & cloves, pomegranate, rhubarb & savory fig. The palate is velvety, ripe cherry, cola, figs, vanilla and baking spice sing in the balanced acidity and long finish.

Pair with chicken pot pie 😋 roast pork loin with cranberry apple filling or fig crostini.
