The ultimate expression of our higher elevation Pinot Noir, this wine is a limited barrel selection, crafted from the grapes sourced atop the upper reaches of each vineyard block. Here, the unique marriage of terroir and microclimate nurtures exceptional fruit concentration. The wine reveals layers of dense black cherry and blueberry, accented with hints of sage and wild fennel. On the palate, vibrant notes of raspberry and pomegranate shine through, accented by the wine’s velvety texture and seamlessly integrated tannins, culminating in a lingering, satisfying finish.
