2017 The Farm Vineyard Pinot Noir

shipping included

Garnet color, jewel like in its transparency, color and brilliance. This wine boasts a highly aromatic nose, showing rose petals, bing cherry, black tea and a hint of cranberry. Rich fruit tones blend with earth and minerality for great texture and structure. Notes of dark cherry, black tea and dried herbs for an elegant old-world style. The finish is long of tea and gentle tobacco, hinting of dried fruit and black pepper. Truly sophisticated and stunning!

Fermentation Method
Grapes were picked before sunrise, hand sorted and de-stemmed then cold soaked for five days before going through whole berry fermentation and receiving two punch downs per day. Fermentation took approximately 12 16 days in an open top five ton fermentation tank and the wine was then racked to barrels.

Barrel Program
30% new French Oak, 30% one year old French Oak and 40% older. Wine remained in barrel for ten months with one racking at five months during
blending.
