Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
The 2015 Dundee Hills Select aroma leads with concentrated notes of dried red and dark berries over dusty earth notes. The flavors have a bright acidity, leading to juicy red berries and cherries framed by a light earthy-complex. The tannin full texture brings volume and structure to the wine. Ripe red fruits and rich tannins carry the long finish. Enjoy this wine now without decanting or cellar for a few years to allow it to mature.
Vineyard Notes
Four vineyards are represented in this Dundee Hills appellation Pinot Noir: Bella Vida with Dijon 667 (21.03%), La Colina Dijon 114 & Pommard (30.21%), Olson with Pommard, Dijon 144, 667, 777 (34.23%), Holstein with Dijon 667 (14.53%). The Dundee Hills soils are volcanic, with very deep, iron-rich, Jory type soils, which drain well and hold plenty of water for the growing season.
Production Notes
Harvested from September 13 to 27, fermented in 1.5 ton fernentors, pressed after 16 to 28 days, this Pinot noir aged for 16 months in 11.47% new French oak, 17.21% 1 year old French oak, the rest neutral. This blend is 40.16% Pommard, 18.29% Dijon 114, 39.35% Dijon 667 and 2.20% Dijon 777. The barrels were racked in March after Malo-Lactic fermentation, then again in August when the blend was put together before returning to neutral barrels until bottling.
