2020 | Wines by Bibiana | Alma de Cattleya Pinot Noir

Remarkably perfumed in the glass, this Pinot Noir focused aromas of juicy plum, black cherry, and Asian spice. On the palate, incredible volume and concentration surround pure red berry and cherry flavors before finishing with velvety soft tannin.

Producer Information

Bibiana’s first vintage in California was 2004. Since then, she hit the ground running. She worked six harvests in three years, traveling to South Africa to work harvests at Soronsberg Cellars in the Tulbagh region. Back in California, she worked at La Crema, Peay Vineyards, Au Bon Climat and Qupé before Lynmar Estate, where she was winemaker from 2009 through early 2012. Her label Cattleya was conceived in 2012 and so was Bibiana’s career as Consulting Winemaker. 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 2013 and in 2015, she was named “Winemaker of the Year” by the San Francisco Chronicle. Bibiana’s newest venture, Alma de Cattleya, represents the soul of the California appellation where the wines are made. Over a period of six years, Bibiana was exclusively Consulting for Wayfarer and Pahlmeyer, honing her expertise in farming practices, taking over vineyard management and winemaking for a then-inexistent brand known today as Wayfarer, and stands among the best Pinot Noirs and Chardonnay producer from the Sonoma Coast. She also produced her first Napa Valley wines under the Pahlmeyer and the Jayson labels. Bibiana is married to winemaker Jeff Pisoni of Pisoni and Lucia Vineyards and together they craft Shared Notes, an homage to Sauvignon Blanc and their only joint winemaking venture. The couple has two young sons, Lucas and Diego, who can often be found tromping through the vineyards or at the winery right alongside mom.
