Six-bottle limit on orders of this Double Gold Medal, 91-point wine.

Rated 91 points by The Wine Spectator, Pinot Report and a Double Gold at the Chronicle Competition! The fruit for our Pinot Noir was hand-harvested from our estate vineyard, carefully tended by our family throughout the year. We are always on-site for harvest, helping to pick and sort in the field, as well as ensure that the fruit arrives at the winery cool and clean.

The wine was 100 percent destemmed and fermented with wild yeast. Punchdowns were done by hand and malolactic fermentation was completely wild as well. No racking was done while the wine was aged in about 33 percent new French oak. While oak is an essential component for aging and can add complexity to the wine, we believe that it should be balanced with the fruit flavors from the grapes. We work hard to farm our vineyard and produce great fruit, and we strive to highlight those flavors in our Pinot Noir.
