Story

“This pinot is 100% estate grown and hand-picked. It is from a single block at the very top of our hill that we consider to be the best block of pinot noir in our vineyard. We named this block after our Percheron draft horses. Complex nose of ripe pomegranate and cranberries with aromas of cigar box, cloves and fresh marzipan. Elegant and structured on the palate, with prominent but well-integrated tannins that create great depth and texture. Flavors of cocoa-dusted almonds, spices and a touch of earth.”
