The 2017 Pinot Noir Louise Vineyard was made with 49% whole clusters and aged 18 months in 66% new French oak. Pale to medium ruby, it has a pretty nose of dried lilac and lavender, dusty earth, saline, rhubarb and cranberry with amaro accents and a savory undercurrent. The palate is medium-bodied and silky with slowly blossoming flavor layers and a finely knit frame, finishing long and minerally with juicy acidity to lift. This is a more serious style that will require a couple more years in bottle to fully come into its own. 701 cases produced.
