Description:
Our final pinot from the Wiley Vineyard near Navarro at the very northern end of Anderson Valley. Harvested September 24 and October 4. The grapes are destemmed only, retaining a high proportion of whole berries, to 1 ton open top bins. The fermentations are punched down by hand twice daily for two weeks till pressing and barreling after one day of settling. The two lots were kept separate until blending prior to bottling. The fruit character was quite different and the combination of the less ripe first lot and the riper second seem to be very complimentary. The wine is a bright ruby color, very limpid in the glass with jammy strawberry aromas with a spice bouquet of nutmeg and white pepper. The flavors feature a very bright fore of ripe strawberry/raspberry fruit with good body, ripe integrated tannins and good length. A very pretty, light and lively wine.
