Cam Confidential
The 2012 vintage afforded us tremendous opportunity to score awesome Pinot values all over the state of CA – a fantastic, picture-perfect vintage combined with huge quantities of amazing fruit. This particular Lot is sourced from a famed grower with simply too much fruit above their contracts. We got the grapes for a song and are passing this amazing value along to you. 5 months in 25% new French oak is all this wine needed, given the raucous, ripe fruit and soft tannins that characterized the vintage.
