2017
Dundee Hills
Pinot Noir
The 2017 vintage started with a late bud break and bloom due to the wet winter and early spring, followed by a warm dry summer. Two inches of rain in September led to more hang time and riper flavors, larger than average crop. Mild weather following the rain helped with the ease of picking and processing fruit.
Classic Dundee Hills nose of spicy, black pepper, tobacco, and red fruits leading to red and black cherry, toasty oak, and baking spice flavors on the palate. Elegant and delicate with persistent soft tannins and seamless acidity from beginning to end.

Gently aged in French oak and held back for additional bottle aging, this wine is crafted for elegance, structure, and aging potential.
