With delicious aromas of wild berries, violets and roses, this rich yet delicate wine boasts bright acidity on the palate with flavors of blackberry, plum and cherry cola combined with pomegranate and toasted oak on the finish. Vintage Notes A mild late spring and summer ensured a healthy canopy, which provided the perfect combination of sunlight and heat penetrating the grape clusters. These conditions allowed the grapes to reach full maturity in both flavor and structure. Harvest was completed just before the rains began. Winemakers Notes Upon entering the winery, the hand picked Pinot Noir clusters were sorted and gently destemmed allowing for partial whole berry fermentations. Meticulous care was taken in every aspect to ensure that no oxygen was introduced at any point during winemaking. Each lot was cold soaked for two to three days and fermented in small bins. Various yeast strains were utilized to add complexity. The wines were gently pressed to barrel and aged for nine months in a variety of 100 percent French oak. One hundred percent malolactic fermentation was completed in barrel, allowing for the oak to integrate.
