Thea's Selection Pinot Noir Wine Details
Price: $29.00 per bottle

Description: Thea’s Selection is named after Dorothy Lemelson, Eric’s mom, who always wanted to be called Thea when she was young. She likes rich, satisfying Pinots, with lush fruit, soft tannins, and enough “backbone” (structure and acidity) to pair easily with fine cuisine. Thea wants the complexity that comes from low yields and minimal intervention in the winery, but she doesn’t want to have to wait three years for her Pinots to reach peak drinkability. Thea’s is indeed a “selection,” a reserve-level blend that combines individual barrels from any or all of our six vineyards. We select barrels that show the most forward, perfumed fruit, with good complexity and length. We have Thea’s wishes in mind when we blend this Pinot noir, and have tried to please her. We hope you are also pleased with the result!
