Soft and unassuming, this Pinot Noir exhibits a quiet luxury. Texturally it is smooth and soft and almost belies, the vibrant fruit notes of blackberry, black and Bing cherry, steeped black tea leaf and fresh/cut garden herbs. The tannins and acidity are modest making for an enjoyable and haptic drinking experience. Comprised of 14 different Pinot Noir clones from the Quail Hill Vineyard, this is truly a wine that exceeds the sum of its parts.
Aged 14 months in French oak, just 31% of that which was new, allows the wine to maintain a bramley, fresh herb quality, showing an evocative and complex wine that authentically represents the heart of Pinot Noir in Sonoma county - the Russian River Valley.
This is a wine that unfolds over time and evocatively reveals itself to be a beautiful iteration of Pinot Noir. 1,251 cases. ORIGIN: Russian River Valley, Sonoma County. ALCOHOL: 14.5%
