    Despite Daniel's brief synopsis of the wine, this is our go-to in his lineup. The refreshing and acid driven red fruits are evident, but there are layers to this wine, with this beautiful clovey, sandalwood complexity along the primary elements of the wine. The tannin is fine and firm, sure to fade wonderfully with time. It's a wine build to last, but it's tremendous drinking now. Just fantastic. In our minds, a new classic.

    Vineyard

    Village Pinot, which is grown in the vineyards that my father planted in the late 80’s and early 90’s. Farmed by hand, without the use of tractors. Less on the fruity side (like the estate wine), more a herbaceous and elegant style of Pinot.

    Winemaking

    Handpicked and fermented in big open top containers (either stainless steel or oak cuve). 30% Whole Bunches. They stay ~3 weeks on skins and I believe in a long but very gentle extraction (mostly pumpovers, plus a few punch downs by hand). After pressing everything goes to barrel for 16 months (French oak, 30% new), and is bottled unfiltered.
