Nose

Scents of roses, spices and rich earth-mineral notes mingle with red fruit
in a seductive manor as only Pinot Noir can be.

Palate

This medium full bodied
wine has a complex core of fruit with balance that keeps it bright. Well
suited to many food types. Elegant without excessive weight. Supple
on the palate yet well structured in a way that charms and doesn’t yield.
It is truly a natural Pinot in style and color. It doesn’t over power as the
more “syrah” styled, black colored versions in the recent marketplace.
This is after all what real Pinot Noir is all about! Enjoy!

Growing Conditions

100% Pinot Noir, Clone 828

Winemaking

The fruit was de-stemmed directly into 1 ton open top fermenters
where it was punched cap fermented. It was pressed just short of
finished fermentation.

Aging

Put into barrels for finishing and 14 months
barrel aging on the original lees and occasionally stirred.
