2018 Les Parcelles Cachées Pinot Noir

WINEMAKER NOTES

This vintage of our Estate selection Les Parcelles Cachées comes from the western block of our vineyards in the back of the winery and is a blend of the Mt. Eden and Swan clonal
selections. These blocks produce lower yields and a more concentrated flavor profile. Both were fermented using their native yeasts in open top fermenters with hand punchdowns before being bottled unfiltered.

VINEYARD NOTES

On February 3, 2010, Demeter USA, the only certification agent for Biodynamic® farms in the United States, certified the 17-acre estate vineyard and garden at DeLoach Vineyards, fully compliant with their standards for Demeter Biodynamic status. As one of less than 100 wineries or vineyards in the U.S. with Demeter certified Biodynamic estate vineyards, DeLoach is among an elite group of sustainable wine grape growers committed to farming in parallel with the Earths natural cycles.

TASTING NOTES

A dark ruby color in the glass, aromas of warm black cherry and blackberry pie waft from the glass with notes of tobacco, earth and sweet spice. Dark fruit flavors continue through to the palate with layers of spice. Rich with firm tannins, this is a structured, medium-bodied wine with a finish that lingers.
