Winemaker's Notes
While this is our entry-level priced bottling of Pinot Noir, it is not so because of an entry-level of deliciousness or entry-level amount of care or barrels given to it. Its origin is potentially from our entire scope of Pinot Noir sources, blended to optimize balance of all facets. Its goal is to be delicious while not necessarily illustrating a specific site or AVA.
Spicy, like mincemeat pie, blood orange, graham cracker and rose hip frequencies ride the carrier FM wave of Pinot Noir fruit. When it’s a complex wine like this, it is like listening to a stereo signal, where there seems to be a field of smell that is not linear. Depending on where your nose is in the glass and the speed of inhaling, different facets appear. I think it’s one thing that separates the ordinary from fine wine. On the mouth, savory, juicy, echoes of its aromatic complexity abound. This really channels old world Pinot Noir in a delicious way.
