"Dark appearance with a youthful purple hue and solid core. Striking aromas of currant, cherry liqueur and earth jump from the glass. Flavors of blackberry, smoked meats and espresso meld into a creamy finish. Nicely balanced acids and tannins make this a wine of great nuance and finesse." - Sean Capiaux

Founded by Sean Capiaux in 1994, Capiaux Cellars crafts small-lot, single‑vineyard Pinot Noirs that capture the unique charm of each site. Sean blends a classic-meets-modern winemaking style; natural wines made with minimal new oak to let the fruit and terroir shine.
