Winemaker Notes
This complex wine is composed of four different clones of estate-grown Pinot Noir grapes, each contributing its own distinctive characteristic into the final blend. It was aged in French oak barrels including 20% new oak for 9 months. Cap punch-downs during fermentation ensured gentle extraction while timely rack and returns ensured sufficient oxygenation to improve the fruit forwardness of this wine.
Food Pairing Notes
Pair with stewed lamb, grilled salmon or mushroom risotto.
