The 2021 Pinot Noir Big Hill pours a clear, deep ruby with a light purple tinge and exhibits a darker personality in its notes of black cherry, gravelly earth, and fresh flowers.
Winemaker's Notes
The Little Hill rises just above the valley floor and the diverse soils are limited and rocky which impart a unique quality to this wine yielding only 2.5 tons per acre. Rich concentrated aromas of black cherry, cinnamon, with a touch of mineral that is unique to this vineyard.
