Referring to the "eye of the peacock," Oeil de Perdix has the exotic hue of a desert sunset. Sensuous and mouth-filling, with rapturous raspberry and a melting wave of cinnamon cream, this wine goes deep, touched by red tea, white pepper, and rosemary. Finely tuned acidity and white chocolate add to its vivacious mouthfeel.

Winemaker Notes

Oeil-de-perdrix, French for "eye of the partridge" is a traditional term for this wine's seductive color. To capture this shade along with the wine's crisp acidity and bold berry flavors, they lightly press Pinot Noir whole clusters, then allow the wine a brief affair with French oak barrels during and after fermentation.
