The 2019 release marks the first vintage this wine was produced with a label that boasts of the organic grapes that produced this brooding and muscular Pinot Noir, which is all power and drive. Heady dark berry fruit and cedar spices segue into a rich mid-palate infused with red cherry, pomegranate, flamed orange peel and Indian spices. Talk about a standing-ovation finish: notes of clove emerge, followed by tangerine peel, crushed cocoa nibs, scented with blue fruit and dried flowers, all framed by silky tannins, and lifted acidity, freshness and balance. Small batches of Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier, and Pinot Gris grapes were allowed to spontaneously ferment with indigenous yeast. A combination of punch-downs, foot treading, and gentle pump-overs was used during a roughly eight-day skin contact maceration prior to pressing in a small basket press—slow and cool indigenous malo-lactic fermentation in 60-gallon French oak barrique.
