Description:
This marks the first vintage of Jennifer’s "Lea" brand Pinot Noir. The grapes for this Pinot blend were sourced from two prime Santa Rita Hills vineyards, Zotovich and Turner. After picking at 25.3 brix, the wine was made in true Tensley tradition; 70% of the grapes were destemmed by gravity and fed into open top fermenters and the remaining 30% were left as whole clusters. The wine was punched down three times daily for 21 days and pressed straight to neutral French oak barrels. It was then aged on the lees for one year before being bottled unfined and unfiltered. This wine is brimming with bright strawberry and spice and shows a rounded, silky texture and long finish. While this Pinot is drinking beautifully now, it will continue to age intriguingly over the next 4 to 6 years.
