Profile: An abundance of black fruit with blackberry, black currants, and black cherry with
fresh blossom. A big, rich Pinot Noir with a perfect balance between fruit and
tannins.
Wine Making: The fruit was hand harvested from Kalita Vineyard from September 21st to the 24th,
and brought back to our Dundee Hills Estate winery were 96% was destemmed and
the rest left whole-cluster. The destemmed fruit went through an ambient
fermentation while the whole cluster was fermented using our native house yeast. All
of this took place in three ton stainless steel tanks with punch-downs for cap
management. The wine was aged for 10 months in French oak barrels with 20% new
oak.
