This is a blend of our four Pinot Noir clones: Dijon 115, Dijon 777, Pommard 91 and Ancestor 01.  Each clone was picked separately between Sept 16-25, yielding less than than 1 ton/acre.  The grapes were destemmed and whole berry fermentation started in open top fermenters with a Burgundian yeast.  Aged 1 year in French oak, 25% new.  Unfined and lightly filtered.

Classic Burgundian profile.  On the nose: Fresh dark cherries, cherry pie with baking spice and a rich meatiness too. There's a hint of smokiness that adds to the complexity. On the palate:  notes of rhubarb, cherries, and pie crust

91 cases made. Key specifications: 12.5% ABV, 1.09 g/L RS, 6.7 g/L TA, 3.95 ph.
