Pinot Noir, 2016

Our first Pinot Noir release. This is 100% County fruit we purchased from another excellent winery here in PEC, Hillier Creek Estates. The grapes were hand harvested and from the hot 2016 vintage. We do not destem our fruit to add some extra texture and tannin. 50% of this wine was in used barrels for 18 months and 50% in stainless steel tanks.

Black cherry, plum, and cedar dominate. Clean, but tart acidity and ample tannin.
