Estate Pinot Noir 2020

Extensive individual berry sorting was done by hand prior to crushing. This was followed by cold maceration at 12°-14° Celsius for 6-8 days. After fermentation and pressing, the wine was transferred to French oak barrels for malolactic fermentation and maturation. (22% new, the rest 2nd, 3rd, and 4th fill.)

This wine has a lovely luminosity – the color is bright crimson. The nose has delicate earthy aromas combined with red and dark berry flavors. On the palate these characteristics follow through combining with interesting savory notes and just a touch of oak and a long lingering finish The natural acidity makes it a perfect partner with a diversity of dishes. Game fish, game birds and venison work very well, as does grilled beef and strong, hard cheese. Vegan
