Product Description:

"The thin skin of the finicky Pinot Noir grape requires the gentlest handling of any fruit I’ve worked with. Our grapes were harvested by hand, then brought to the winery in small bins and gently de-stemmed. Then, they were transferred to our custom fermentors, with open tops that allowed me to achieve the color and depth I wanted without compromising the quality of the fruit flavors in the finished wine. The wine was then aged for 11 months in small, French oak barrels, adding a toasty, nutty flavor." Meridian Winery
