Tasting Notes: This hand crafted single vineyard Pinot Noir was created using the traditional method of open vat fermenters with wild yeast. The wine was then left to mature for 12 months in French oak barrels. The result is a wonderfully seductive wine with vibrant aromas of violets and roses on the nose. The mouth fillis light to medium fruit with delicate tannins and structure. This creates a very exciting and sophisticated wine to drink.
