2016 Pennacchio Vineyard Pinot Noir

VINEYARD NOTES

Hand-picked at optimal ripeness at the beginning of September, the berries were de-stemmed and punched down by hand in wooden vats. Basket pressed directly to barrel, the wine finished its fermentation upon its lees before being racked and aged for 15 months in 100% French oak, 35% new.

TASTING NOTES

The Pennacchio Vineyard Pinot Noir is always a big, intense Pinot Noir with concentrated, dark fruit flavors. Black cherries and plums are accented with notes of dried rose petals and wet stone. A full-bodied Pinot Noir, this wine pairs well with wild game or glazed duck.
