Lea Pinot Noir ~ Turner Vineyard

Lea Pinot Noir ~ Turner Vineyard Wine Details
Price: $38.00 per bottle

Description: Planted to the renowned Pommard clone, the south-facing slopes and sandy soils of the Turner vineyard make it an ideal terroir for Pinot Noir. This wine was gently basket pressed and hand bucketed to neutral French oak barrels. Handling it with kid gloves definitely paid off as Jennifer was left with one of the darkest, most intense Pinot Noirs she or Joey had ever tasted. This wine is big, round and lush in the mouth with notes of blackberry, blueberry and purple plums. The spice is deep and the tannic structure solid though the tannins themselves are appealingly soft and grainy. While this wine is very appealing now, it will certainly develop beautifully over the next 6 to 8 years.
