The 2023 vintage hit a sizable speed bump on the night of May 18, when a combination of freezing temperatures and lack of wind engulfed much of the region in frost. With the vines already awake and starting to push growth, this led to substantial damage – with yields ultimately coming in around 40% less than average across the farm. The fruit that did reach maturity benefitted from a sunny and dry harvest to produce wines of ripe flavors and balanced acidity. Subsequent wines showcase the warrior spirit of grapes that endured a challenging growing process.

The resulting wine is medium bodied, silky and flavorful, with a full bouquet of bright cherry, raspberry and blackberry, accented with a hint of vanilla.

Pairs wonderfully with grilled vegetable and fish dishes as well as savory pasta and poultry entrees.

Wagner Vineyards' Grace House Pinot Noir is our more delicately styled Pino Noir. This vintage was produced with complete malolactic fermentation, followed by twelve months of aging in French and older American oak barrels.

Bottled Feb. 6, 2025. Cork closure.
