Description

The 2017 vintage was very dry and warm, with low yields for Pinot Noir. As a result, it was very important to harvest in advance of hot weather to keep the nuance, depth and freshness of Pinot Noir. Very seductive on the nose with notes of flowers, black currant and orange rind. The mouthfeel is very fresh with coated soft tannins and a finish that brings flavors of cigars and blackberries. Properly cellared, this wine can be enjoyed over the next 10-15 years.
