Upon arriving at the winery, the grapes are destemmed, crushed and fermented warm at about 85° F in a stainless steel fermenter. At dryness, the wine is pressed then racked cleanly for aging. Only 25% of the blend is aged on new French oak for 10 months to accentuate the bright, fruit-forward component of Pinot Noir.
Our Pinot Noir has a lush and silky texture with raspberry aromas that lead into bright currant and cherry flavors and a long finish. With delicate notes of vanilla and sweet oak, it pairs deliciously with roast chicken, lamb chops, pork loin, grilled tuna and mild sausages.
