This is our first release of many to come. To best describe the Pinot Noir one must use words such as fruit-driven, elegant, refreshing and distinctive. This is a beautiful Pinot Noir with black cherry richness balanced by notes of cinnamon and a slight earthiness

A Great Pinot Noir wine begins in the vineyard.  In 2003, Bret had young vines but a light crop to work with from the start, so the task became one of uncovering the vineyards potential. During crush the juice was given an opportunity to cold soak on the skins. Delicate nuances of freshness and flavor are contained within the skins. Cold soaking enables this character to infiltrate the juice before the onset of primary fermentation. A softening of the mouth feel and further complexity came about when the wine completed a secondary fermentation cycle during the aging process, known as malolactic fermentation.
