Four Petals merges the significance of our beloved Jacqueminot Rose with our symbolic relationship with the number four. The petals also call out to our Infinity Rose that is an integral piece of our brand identity. The number four represents our beginnings. From the vision of four Founders - all having the desire to continue their lifelong friendships - to our ideals of character, dignity, scholarship and college loyalty, Four Petals subtly incorporates AOII's past and present.
We introduce you to Four Petals. Our Pinot Noir from Santa Barbara County experiences a lengthy and cool growing season that is similar to the climate of the Burgundy region of east-central France. Unlike Burgundy, our Pinot Noir experiences dense fog that rolls in off the Pacific Ocean; this fog contributes to the ideal climate for Pinot Noir, offering just enough moisture to be beneficial without lingering too long.
This Pinot Noir has aromas of cherries, raspberries, blackberries, and brown sugar with notes of baking spices. On the palate, the wine opens with bright, fruit flavors of strawberries, leading to a round mouthfeel on the mid-palate and soft, velvety tannins on a long, elegant finish.
