What to Expect

Pinot Noir: Responsible for some of the greatest wines on earth - the exhausted red wines of France's Burgundy region. Pinot Noir is a notoriously fickle grape that expresses its origins like no other. It's a vine that needs to struggle to produce great wines but when it does the depth of flavors that range from cherry to cola can be explosive and the wines' bright acidity and gentle tannins make them approachable and widely appealing,

Winemakers Notes

1998 was a Pinot year, long on growing season and short on crop. An elegant intensity describes this wine. The short yield has resulted in a very limited supply. Darker in color than most of our Pinots, this wine has a wonderful bouquet of cherries, violets, and cinnamon, with a distinct spicy vanillin aroma from 18 months of aging in French oak barrels. In the mouth, complex and velvety flavors fill the palate. The transition to aftertaste is sweet and lasting....a wine to savor.
