Wine Profile

Tasting Notes

Aromas of allspice, cola, cherry, raspberry, cranberry, Marionberry, and a slight floral note. On the palate, this wine is dry and light medium-bodied with good acidity and structure. Flavors include cherries, cranberries, cloves, and black tea. There’s a strong midpalate presence, and a very long finish; evolves nicely in the glass.

Ratings

Aromas of earth, oak and balsam dominate upon opening. Plenty of like able fruit on the palate including flavors of black cherry, black raspberry and pomegranate. Well-composed with a savory thread adding interest. When tasted the following day from a previously opened and re-corked bottle, more dark fruit showed up on the nose and the finish offered more aromatic persistence. Decant if you must drink now. Score: 92. Prince of Pinot, Reviewed May 7, 2017.

Vineyard Notes

Sourced from own-rooted and grafted vines planted between 1985-95 and consisting of the three heritage clones of Pinot Noir: Wädenswil, Pommard, and Gamay Beaujolais.

Winemaker Notes

The grapes were harvested by hand, sorted, and destemmed. Then, the fruit underwent a five day cold soak. After fermentation began, the must was pumped over and punched down twice daily until dry. After fermentation was complete, the must was pressed, combining press fractions. The wine settled overnight then was racked to 25% new French oak barrels and aged for ten months.

Food Pairing Notes

Roasted chicken or duck, lamb, mushrooms, pork loin, grilled or pan roasted salmon, or grilled tuna
