Description

Baileyana Firepeak Pinot Noir 2017 750ml

The Baileyana Firepeak Pinot Noir is beautifully balanced and exudes fruit aromas and flavor. This wine is created from a noteworthy vineyard we’ve affectionately named “Firepeak” after the chain of extinct volcanoes that once ruled the area where our grapes now grow in Edna Valley, CA. The volcanic remnants in the soil combine with clay loam and rocky marine sediment to create an ideal environment for making world-class Pinot Noir. Refined, rich and exceptionally balanced with beautiful intricacies waiting to be discovered.

Critical Acclaim

90 Jeb Dunnuck

The only red I was able to taste from this estate, the 2018 Pinot Noir Firepeak comes from the Paragon Vineyard in Edna Valley and was brought up in 35% new French oak. Terrific notes of tart cherry and strawberries, spring flowers, and forest floor all dominate the bouquet, and it’s medium-bodied, with bright acidity, notable balance, and a clean, juicy style that’s a joy to drink. It’s well worth checking out.

Dark-cherry, muddy earth and dark-mint aromas show on the nose of this bottling. The palate is crisp with cherry and berry, as pinches of thyme and baking spice complete the sip.
