Tasting Notes
Viticulture:
This wine is a blend of di erent Pinot Noir clones sourced from di erent blocks in our vineyard.
Winemaking:
The grapes were hand-harvested and de-stemmed into a small open top vats for fermentation. The must received a 4 to 5 day cool pre-fermentation maceration before the fermentation begun. The cap was treated with a punch down 3 times daily during the peak of fermentation. After fermentation fi nished, the wine was pressed to new and old French oak barrels for maturation and underwent complete malolactic fermentation in the spring. The wine was racked off lees and blended and fi ltered for clarity.

Dark brooding fruit aromas of black cherry and plums. Rich, complex and spicy wine with refi ned tannins and a long lingering fi nish.

Food Match

The cherries and spice of this Pinot Noir would beautifully complement duck or salmon.
