100% French Oak, 21% New. Wine is matured in barrel for 5-6 months
Palate
Red cherry, plum and boysenberry are followed by subtle hints of
espresso and spice. The palate is firm, yet integrated tannins and bright
acidity drives a long finish.
Vintage Notes
Sonoma County received record breaking and persistent rainfall throughout
winter and into early spring of 2023. Bud break came late with emerging
leaves in late March. Spring stayed relatively cool, with the trend of running
3-4 weeks behind continued throughout the growing season and into harvest.
The long hang time provided ideal conditions for flavor development and
acid retention. Fruit displayed great flavor intensity and vibrant acidity
during harvest. Our 2023 Pinot Noir harvest began September 21st.
