The 2017 Pinot Noir Estate is a barrel selection taken from all three estate vineyards, but built on a core from Dach, which resembles in its earthy, savory profile. Crushed flowers, mint, pine, iron, dried autumn leaves and mineral notes are laced throughout this finely-cut, slightly nervy Pinot. Sweet floral notes add the closing shades of nuance.

This full-bodied wine is deep and flavorful, topping black-fruit flavors with layers of complex black-tea and forest-floor accents. The mouthfeel is broad but grippy, showing moderate tannins and good acidity. Best through 2027.

The pale ruby colored 2017 Pinot Noir offers scents of tar, blackberries and smoked cranberries with earthy undertones and a touch of dried orange peel. The palate is light-bodied with spice and earth-laced flavors, fresh, soft and nuanced with a long finish. 3,040 cases produced.
