Aging

The fruit for the 2014 The Cairn Pinot Noir comes entirely from Catie's Corner Vineyard. Once again, we vinified with 15% whole cluster providing a bit more mouthfeel and spiciness to the wine, along with monthly lees stirring. We used 40% new oak for barrel aging, and the wine is a blend of 20 year old vines comprised of two Wadenswil clones, 1A and 2A.
