  • Winemaker: Ben Casteel
  • Farming: Certified Sustainable
  • Variety: Pinot Noir
  • Terroir: Volcanic soils. Blended from vineyards around the Eola-Amity estate. 
  • Vinification: The fruit was gently de-stemmed, cold soaked at 40 degrees for 3-5 days, then gradually allowed to warm up prior to fermentation. The fruit was pumped over twice a day at the onset of fermentation until a peak temperature of 84-88 degrees was reached, and then pumped over once per day until dryness. It was then settled for 8 to 10 days prior to being racked to a variety of French oak barrels for ageing
  • Aging: Barrel aged 11 months in French oak, 35% new barrels
  • Scores: 94 points, James Suckling- Aromas of redcurrants and cherry drops with citrus rind, lilac and crushed stones. Medium-bodied, fresh and crunchy, with chalky tannins and vivid acidity. Bright, blue-fruited finish. A little chewy at the end.
