Bread & Butter is a reference to the craft of winemaking.
Bread = Oak. Butter = Malolactic Fermentation.
The type of oak, origin, producer, level of toast, time on oak, and racking all play a vital role in developing bread-like flavors and texture of the wine. Butter characters come from malolactic fermentation. The conversion of malic acid to lactic acid produces rich, buttery flavors and changes the texture of the wine to be more creamy and soft. These factors work together to best compliment the complexity of fruit and expression of terroir produced in the vineyard.

(Posted on 5/26/2017) This Pinot Noir is so classic Napa Valley style, beautiful on the nose, dry fruity on the pallet with just that fantastic Pinot finish.
Great to drink alone with friends or with light foods, meats and fish.
