Tasting notes
Vivid red. Black raspberry, musky underbrush and herbal aromas, with a hint of vanilla. Plush red and dark berry flavors are given a bitter edge by a note of dark chocolate and pick up an exotic black cardamom note with air. Finishes broad and smooth, with good sweet persistence. This is drinking well now.

Winemaker Greg La Follette. 100% Pinot Noir from Western Sebastopol. Vines are grown on fine Goldridge loam soils and the grapes are hand-harvested and sorted prior to destemming. Berries fermented in four tonne open-top oak vats, punched down by hand and pressed when dry into French oak barrels for secondary fermentation on the lees. Some second fill barrels were used during the ageing process. DeLoach should be credited, very sweet. Not very appetising. (JR)
