Winemaker Notes

This is the second edition of our newest estate Pinot , a special barrel selection from a section of the vineyard planted in 1999, the year our daughter Riona was born.    This block is distinctive due to a vein of volcanic ash embedded in the sandstone formation beneath the vineyard, imparting a distinct spicy character that is unique to this part of the property.  The wine is made with a slightly heavier dose of whole cluster than we typically employ, and was raised in 50% new Burgundian oak barrels just like our Estate Reserve.  Accessible now, it will really shine with a few years in the cellar
