2016 Pinot Noir This wine is a blend of three vineyards representing a variety of Pinot Noir clones (115, 777, Pommard, Wadensville). All of the fruit was soaked on the skins in our cold room to help intensify the color of the wine. Following primary fermentation, the skins were left in the wine for three weeks prior to pressing the wine (termed “extended maceration”); this process helps to extract ingredients from the grapes that are later used in the aging process. The wine was pressed and barrel aged for 16 months with approximately 20% new French Oak. The resulting wine is rich and complex with a rounded mouthfeel. Tasting Notes Aromas of blackberry, blueberry and cranberry, with subtle caramel and spice. Flavors of blackberry, vanilla, caramel, leather and spice.
