Robust spicy tannins support unusually dark fruit character! This blend of seven clones, comes together with well-integrated berry and cherry fruit. There’s a pleasantly dusty note, a touch of brown spices, and just a hint of heat in the finish.
Pairing

Each block was picked at optimum maturity with thick skins developing during the warm summer. The pinot noir took on a dark color with well developed tannins. A 4-6 day cold soak was followed by 10-14 day fermentations. Cooperage was 228 liter French, using 1/3 new barrels for 16 months.
