The Vice Pinot Noir Batch＃182 2023

Each year it proves consistent, delivering bright cherry fruit with rich, warming brown baking spices, a touch of smoky clove and flamed grapefruit peel on the palate. There is fine ripeness of fruit alongside a pleasingly grippy tension.

Perfect conditions from the start of the growing season to its finish. Winter will be remembered as the 10th wettest season on record in Napa with consistent rain that got us out of the extreme drought and with surprisingly no floods. Spring was poetic leading to a mild summer with no heatwaves whatsoever. First time we picked Pinot Noir during November since the inception of The Vice in 2013.

• 100% Pinot Noir (Dijon Clone 113, Pommard Clone 5, Dijon Clone 777) 
• 9 months in French Oak barrels (30% new, 70% 1 year seasoned) 

The Vice Wine is a Napa Valley luxury wine brand made in small batches. Each batch is crafted from single grape varietals sourced from hand selected vineyards that best express the grape varietal and the region that it comes from. The Vice Wine is a result of passionate labor, sustainable farming, a long expertise of the wine industry and a current understanding of the consumer’s wine trend.

The Vice Wine is about as personal of a brand as it gets. Everything is done by the founders. We drive the truck to get our fruit, we crush, bottle, label; we do everything by hand when possible. We design the labels, work the market, and sell the wine. 

We believe that the best wines in the world aren’t the most expensive ones. We thrive at providing the best quality wine at the best value.
