Sean Capiaux's 2021 Pinot Noirs are impressive. They are the best wines I have ever tasted here. The 2021s offer a combination of fruit density and vibrancy that is absolutely compelling. Capiaux gave his 2021s a five-day cold soak. Fermentation took place in open-top tanks, with 10-20% whole clusters, depending on the wine. Malolactic fermentation was done in barrels, where the wines spent eleven months before being bottled. This is a special vintage for Capiaux.
