Winemaker Notes
As with all our Pinots from the vintage, there’s a real fruit compote character and natural density to the wine — layered, succulent and deep. A complex loamy-woodsy note adds extra sweetness and depth. The fresh acidity makes the wine stand upright: poised, punchy and youthfully dynamic. Stylistically, it’s a classic Green Valley hillside site-driven wine, quite distinct from the warmer parts of the Russian River Valley, and filled with soulful nuance. This is expected to age beautifully in bottle, so no hurry to drink it; give it some time to unfold through 2017 and beyond.
