The general vintage experienced a challenging growing season, nothing was predictable due to the weather. We did manage a typical mid-April harvest. This allowed for the ripening fruit to develop good varietal flavors. The fruit at harvest was impeccably clean with good maturity.

Winemaker's Notes
Pinot Noir Clone 5, Abel 115. Hand-picked. The whole bunches enter the de-stemmer / crusher. Crushed berries then macerate in their own juice. Juice slowly extracts its pink color. Press off 70% of the fruit, 30% was a bleed from Drumsara Pinot Noir.
