Pinot Noir - 100% Estate Grown

Tasting Notes

In this cool, difficult year, flowering and fruit set were down by 60%-65% on the previous year. Not having enough fruit to do our usual vinification by clone, we made one single wine with all our Pinot clones together. It was aged for nearly 22 months in a mix of new and old French oak.

Palate

Fragrant, soft and supple on the palate with balanced acidity, it is a wine that will age well in a bottle for 6-8 years.
