2013 10 Acre Pinot Noir
The contrast between our 10-Acre and West Block Pinot noirs exemplifies how slight geographical differences can have significant influence on the flavor profiles of a wine. Planted in 1997, the 10-Acre block of Pinot noir is the oldest planting on our estate vineyard. Located on the east-facing slope, this area gets full sun in the cool morning hours, leading to a slower, more gradual ripening process and a wine that is typically elegant and lighter in body, with prevailing red fruit characteristics.
