This is the story of the sculptor and The Uncarved Block. When a sculptor imagines a block of marble, he sees what others cannot. His chisel removes what does not belong to expose the elegance and beauty of what was hidden. This purity of form is only revealed by careful and thoughtful action. In our desire to produce wines of integrity and beauty, we have embraced a vision of the inherently pure qualities of Pinot Noir. Our uncarved block was a cherry orchard that we sculpted into a 35 acre vineyard. As is the case with all of our Pinot Noirs, this bottling is 100% estate grown and hand harvested fruit. The individual blocks were fermented with whole clusters and indigenous yeast from the vineyard. In the cellar, we aged the individual lots in French oak barrels for more than 12 months. The blend is a reflection of our soils, microclimates and stewardship of the land. Tasting Notes: Deviously intoned burlesque red. Ripe Montmorency cherries and Crimson roses greet you at the threshold – nostrils flare. Heady aromas of freshly pitted pie cherries, cinnamon, baking spice and Darjeeling tea are supported by a lithe and ever maneuvering body. Restraint and control are ever present, however the palate is transcendent through layers of fruit expression and stem tannins within the firm garter of acidity.
