Vine selection 667 is one of the prestigious “Dijon clones” brought to California from the Cote d’Or in Burgundy, France. This vine stock forms tight, compact clusters that generate deep color and more layers of tannins than any other Pinot Noirs previously grown in California.

A rich, red-colored wine with violet hues, reminiscent of plums and cherries. Round in the mouth with a touch of truffle and vanilla. Alaris was born from the expression of young varietals. This wine does not know about schedules, rules, or stereotypes. It is joyous, laid-back, and made with the same freedom with which it is enjoyed. Its versatility makes it ideal to be paired with any daily event.
