Wine Description:

At harvest, we carefully select our grapes, choosing fruit with expressive varietal character. At the winery, we de-stem the grapes and gently place them into stainless-steel tanks for fermentation. This allows us to control temperatures and retain the bright fruit character of the varietal. Following fermentation, we age the wine for six months on French oak to integrate flavors and weave in fragrant notes of vanilla and spice.

Tasting Note:

Varietally expressive, elegantly crafted and simply delivered, our Pinot Noir surpasses expectations on all levels. The lovely, garnet-hued color gives way to effusive red fruit aromas. The palate is soft and inviting, layering strawberries, red cherries and ripe plums with warm spices from French oak. A hint of Syrah, with its serious rich fruits and earthy tones, lends depth and complexity. This is a wine to be sipped and savored.
