Description:
This Pinot Noir was made in open-topped fermenters, fermented with a slow-starting yeast and kept to temperatures in the low 80s° F to extend skin contact. Only the free run wine used, adding further elegance and length of finish. The wine was finished by aging 11 months in primarily new French oak barrels, many of which were air dried for three years, which gives the wine power and structure without being dominated by oak flavors. Our single vineyard Pinot Noir shows great concentration of fruit flavors, black cherry and strawberry, with some earthy or leather aromas and spice, caramel and smoke acquired by maturation in barrels. Tannins are plentiful but soft, giving fullness to the mouth. Ready to drink upon release, this wine may be aged for another three to five years.
