Complex, this single vineyard Pinot Noir grows atop a 12 acre hill. 100% Estate grown from Pommard stock. Dark Cherry and black licorice accentuated by roasted aromas of smoke, bacon fat, coffee and tobacco. On the pallet dark fruit and spice meld into volume and weight followed by a lengthy, wet-slate finish
This is a very fun and unique wine. It's a cool climate Syrah Noir clone and is cofermented with 10% Vigoner in the Rhone style. 2015 was a warm vintage that allowed us to achieve full phenolic ripeness and the wine retains a lot of brightness and acidity so it should easily continue to positively develop for another 5-8 years in bottle.
