2023 Passion de la Reine Reserve Pinot Noir

Our Passion de la Reine Reserve Pinot Noir is especially close to our hearts. My wife, Sandy, personally selected the barrels for this wine from two of our favorite Russian River Valley vineyards. She has a soft spot for Pinot Noir with bold flavor and elegant complexity — and this wine is exactly that. Rich, expressive, and beautifully layered, it’s a Pinot that truly reflects her style.

"The brilliant 2023 En Garde ‘Passion de la Reine’ Pinot Noir is a barrel selection wine coming from the Russian River Valley (Pleasant Hill and Wines and Roses Vineyards). Juicy guava and strawberry notes mark the nose alongside shades of Yakima cherry, cloves and sandalwood accents. The palate is refined and elegant with a seamless texture. Offering glorious length and weight, enjoy this beauty now and over the next ten to fifteen years. Drink 2025-2038." - Owen Bargreen
