Taken Wine Company was founded in 2009 when next generation winemakers, Carlo Trinchero and Josh Phelps realized their mutual dream to start their own wine label. Josh and Carlo grew up together in the town of St. Helena, in the Napa Valley with their winemaking families. Wine is most certainly in their DNA! The wines are crafted to appeal to the millennial generation in terms of both what’s inside and outside the bottle. The names (Taken, Complicated, and Available) all tie into social media and are relevant to their generation.
Complicated Pinot is made from fruit sourced from three diverse blocks in Herbert Ranch Vineyard and aged in 100% neutral oak. This has become a nicely balanced Pinot with lovely ripe red fruits such as crushed raspberries and red cherries. Aromas of cinnamon, plum, lavender, and ripe strawberry begin to reveal themselves as well. A smooth, soft finish makes this a pleasure with or without food.
