Tasting Notes

This single vineyard Pinot Noir is made from carefully selected hand-picked grapes grown on the estate of the winery near Elenovo. Upon opening, the wine shows black cherry, cassis, and strawberry compote, that releases lavender, forest floor, and redwood bark while swirled in the glass. The texture is firmer and more layered than the Heritage Pinot Noir, and is meant to age at least ten or more years.
