Clone 828 Pinot Noir - 2012

New Release - November 2018!

Tasting Notes:

The deepest color of all our Pinots.  The nose is initially closed, but opens up with dark fruit, dates, spice and earth.  This clone, harvested from young vines, is new to the lineup.  The flavors are somewhat wild and exotic, atypical of our other Pinots.  Pomegranate and other red fruit are present, but also syrah-like flavors of leather and hay poke through.  Firm tannins give the wine structure to age.  An intriguing wine that is excellent with lamb dishes.

pH 3.6         TA .6           Alc. 14.5
