The 2021 jumps from the glass with notes of fresh rose, black currant, blackberry, blood orange, crushed earth, soy sauce, allspice and strawberry fields.  A linear palate focuses on freshly picked strawberries and blackberries at the peak of ripeness, layered with decadent dark chocolate mousse.  There is a beautiful persistence to this multifaceted Pinot Noir.  

Each block was hand-picked and firm, cool clusters were delivered to the winery before sunrise.  We hand-sorted and destemmed the fruit before transferring it to stainless steel tanks for five to ten days of cold maceration.  Fermentation was guided by 100% native yeast, with hand punch downs tailored to how each tank was tasting that day. The wine aged in French oak barrels, 35% new, for 10 months prior to bottling.
