✨ wine.spec_sheet
Robert Mondavi was a legendary pioneer who redefined California winemaking, and the PNX Pinot Noir represents the winery's dedication to mastering this notoriously temperamental grape. Sourced from the cool, wind-swept vineyards of Carneros in southern Napa Valley, the wine thrives in the region's signature marine fog and clay soils. The 'PNX' bottling showcases a vibrant, expressive style born from meticulous block selection and gentle handling. Fermented in small lots and aged in French oak barrels, it beautifully balances bright red berry fruit with earthy complexity and silky tannins, carrying forward Mondavi's historic vision of creating world-class wines that belong on every dinner table.
