Russian River Pinot Noir 2018

Blend : 100% Pinot Noir

Winemaking + ageing process : The fruit for this cuvée is a complex mix of terroirs and clonal selections from 7 different vineyards located on cooler climate sites ; notably Last Stop and Westpin. Hand harvested at night, 34% of the fruit was whole cluster fermented for added depth and structure. The wine was aged in 100% French oak, 23% new for 14 months.

Tasting notes : The colour is ruby red with a lighter edge. Aromas of black cherry, sage, rose and tobacco dominate the nose. The palate has textural depth, voluptuous and polished tannins with a graphite minerality. Flavours of black cherry cola and cacao nibs compliment the dark fruit.
