A classic expression of cool climate Pinot Noir. A lighter, bright, garnet hue as you would expect from this grape variety. The nose shows the many layers of nuances and complexity associated with Pinot Noir: violets, nutmeg, cloves, plums, cherries as well as the mushroom/ forest floor component. On the palate, the lively acidity ensures freshness and balance. The soft, velvety texture is a reflection of the great care taken at the end of fermentation: bucketing out the skins manually to avoid presence of seeds in the press. This greatly reduces the risk of altering the all important textural component in Pinot Noir. This Pinot Noir has a very long, clean finish lingering with spicy and earthy elements. We expect this wine to improve in the bottle over the next 5-8 years.
