Palate
Powerful black cherry and plum aromatics with smokey, briary, and strawberry flavors; finishes with notes of vanilla and silky rich tannins.
Growing Conditions
Cultivated on Anderson Valley’s high eastern ridge, this remote vineyard is full of chunky, broken rock in thin, powdery soil similar to a Goldridge classification. Pinot Noir vines strain to cling to the ridgelines yet produce deep, profoundly complex and age-worthy wines.
Aging
13 months in 95% French oak, 45% new
