Cattleya Pinot Noir Cuvee #1 2021

Seductive nose of dark fruit, potpourri and spices. Very juicy and expressive on the palate with 3D cherry, strawberry and sarsaparilla flavors. Gorgeous round texture with a satisfying weight. Long, bright finish. Beautiful. Enjoy now through 2026. – September 2022

Cattleya Winery

Cattleya wines are the result of a deep and long love story between Bibiana Gonzales Rave's soul and wine. Born and raised in Colombia, she knew she would become a winemaker by age 14. Bibiana trained as a winemaker in France and started her own label, Cattleya Wines, in 2012. Since then, she has earned a remarkable series of accolades and rave reviews for all her wines and those of her clients. She was named one of Wine Enthusiast’s first “40 Under 40: America’s Tastemakers” in 2014 and in 2015, she was named “Winemaker of the Year” by the San Francisco Chronicle. Over the past six years Bibiana was exclusively Consulting for Wayfarer and Pahlmeyer. In 2016, she started a new label, Alma de Cattleya, initially for distribution only in Colombia. Bibiana is married to winemaker Jeff Pisoni and together they craft Shared Notes, an homage to Sauvignon Blanc and their only joint winemaking venture.
