Sourced from Perli Vineyards in the Mendocino Ridge AVA, this Pinot Noir undergoes native fermentation and is aged for 17 months in 40% new French oak. Brooding dark cherry fruit emerges from the glass, accompanied by deep conifer, orange peel, and rich loamy earth notes. Medium-bodied, it is framed by perfectly ripe tannins and excellent lacy acidity. Enticing red fruit and spice characters are more subtle and refined than in previous vintages, delivering real elegance with intensity. This is one of the most balanced and expressive Pinot Noirs crafted from the Perli Vineyards site in this vintage. A masterful effort from this high-elevation vineyard, known for producing ripe wines, winemaker David Milner, has achieved a remarkable balance of vibrant fruit, fresh acidity, and firm tannin structure. It is an exceptional wine that captures the vineyard's potential with finesse.
