Winemaker Notes
After night harvesting, the fruit from the Lee Vineyard has a short distance to
travel—a quarter mile down the road to Saintsbury . From there, each block remains separate and receives gentle handling from the sorting table to small open top fermenters for 5 day cold soak, 11 day total cuvaison. This is a site that requires cautious and gentle extraction regime for balanced tannins and bright acidity.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Pale to medium ruby-purple in color, the 2017 Pinot Noir Lee Vineyard features notes of baked raspberries, red currant jelly and red roses with hints of tar, stewed tea and Provence herbs. Medium-bodied, the palate is earthy and restrained with a pleasantly chewy texture and refreshing finish.

Wine Enthusiast
Soft and supple on the palate in waves of wild strawberry, this is a lush creamy wine with bright secondary notes of orange peel and rhubarb. There's a touch of oak that complements the fruit.
