The 2023 Monopole Crü Bien Nacido Vineyard Pinot Noir comes from Block F, planted in 1973 on vitis vinifera roots. Bien Nacio is in the Santa Maria Valley, at the northern end of Santa Barbara County. It is known for its high quality and cool-climate characteristics. This 2023 comes from an even "cooler than normal" vintage, so the high acidity and slightly lower ripeness to the wine add to its uniqueness and charm. Enjoy this from 2025 through 2038. Or if you love older Pinots, save a bottle to open in 2043 on its 20th anniversary.
