2013 OLD VINE PINOT NOIR ~ RESERVE

The 2013 growing season was once again virtually perfect for us.  This dry farmed old vine Pinot Noir holds its delicacy while showing its complexity. The nose is earthy like dried flowers, strawberry tones.  Palate has notes of plum, pomegranate and tart cherry. Followed by a mouthwatering finish, balanced tannins, giving it an elegant texture. Finish has notes of vanilla, cinnamon, cardamom and peppercorns.  This Pinot has a lot of structure and changes as it washes over the palate.  Oak forward but also well balanced with fruit and tart acidity. Barrel aged for 31 months in artisanal-coopered oak barrels. We produced 136 cases.
