Notes:
VINEYARD: The Occidental Ridge Vineyard, established in 1999 and farmed by Richard Radcliffe, lies just outside the town of Occidental at about 800 feet above sea level. Three separate blocks make up this cool-climate vineyard, each planted to a different Dijon clone of Pinot Noir.
VINIFICATION 10% of the whole clusters are fermented in an upright foudre; the rest is de-stemmed and fermented in stainless steel. After 12-14 days of native fermentation with gentle punch downs, the wines is pressed to barrel and allowed a native malolactic, before aging on lees for 11 months in 20% new French oak.
AGING 30% new French oak, 30% second year, and 40% third year. Bottled unfined and unfiltered.
Flavors of Seville orange, marionberry jam, and pink peppercorn on a dense core of acidity and plush tannin.
