2002 PINOT NOIR ESTATE GROWN

2002 PINOT NOIR ESTATE GROWN Wine Details
Price: $25.00 per bottle

Description: 1596 cases produced. This is the signature wine of Bethel Heights estate vineyard with its unique configuration of soils, slopes, and clones evolved over 25 years, certified sustainably grown under international standards. 2002 was an exceptionally long, warm growing season, yielding luscious wines. This wine was aged 14 months in French oak and bottled unfiltered. It offers intense black cherry fruit with hints of black pepper. Elegant, fragrant, supple, bright. "Firm and nicely focused to show its peppery black cherry flavors, balanced well with fine tannins and just enough acidity to give it zest. Finishes with a floral, cedary touch. Cries out for food. Roast chicken, anyone?" (90) The Wine Spectator
