Pinot Noir Presqu'ile Vineyard

The wine completed native yeast fermentation and native malo-lactic conversion. The 40% whole cluster fermentation in stainless steel and concrete tanks, combined with aging in 50% new French oak, impart a supple tannic structure. The nose is deep and complex with spice, sandalwood, forest floor and plum. With its fine balance and seamless integration, this Pinot Noir will continue to develop complexity and age gracefully for years to come.

I will be bringing you the story of this winery in another post, but you shouldn't wait until then to go out and buy some, as there may be none left by then."
