The Tasting Panel 93
Our 2020 Pinot Noir is deep red in color, with a spicey, floral nose, hints of tobacco and forest floor. On the palate it provides an elegant balance of fruit and acidity, with ripe red fruit flavors, hints of orange marmalade, raspberries, and rounded out with earthiness and minerality. The tannins of the 2020 vintage are a bit softer than the 2019, and they provide a lovely finish and promise of improving with age over the next 5-10 years. Scored 93 Points by The Tasting Panel and a Publisher's Pick. Made from certified organic grapes of Panther Ridge Vineyard that were farmed biodynamically and harvested by hand. Natural fermentation with no added yeast, bottled unfiltered. 265 cases produced.

Notes

Eighty percent of the grapes were destemmed, and twenty percent were left in whole clusters, some at the top of the bin and some at the bottom. The wine went through a five-day cold soak followed by fourteen days of fermentation in open top bins, utilizing natural yeasts, with two gentle punch downs per day. Then the wine was moved to oak barrels, with 20% new French oak, both Fr. Frère and DAMY, and aged for seventeen months. It was gravity fed and bottled unfiltered.
