2022 thousand candles single vineyard pinot noir 6 pack
A steep east facing slope that catches the morning sun. Clay loam soils sit above an ancient rocky subsoil. Free draining soil allows for very balanced vine growth.
Open canopies and smaller bunch size produces wines with fruit density, structure and depth.
We hand pick several parcels of fruit from this site and ferment separately with different whole bunch and whole berry components. Wild yeast, gentle handling no pump overs or plunging. We do this to allow true vineyard expression.
After three weeks on skins the wines are pressed individually into older French barriques.
Raspberry, herbs and a slight earthiness.
A hallmark of this wine is its structure, fine grained yet velvety tannins coat the whole palate seamlessly.
Note: Minimum of 6 bottles per order (Can be a mixed 6 pack).

96 POINTS - Philip Rich. Halliday Wine Companion
Fermented with 50% whole bunches and aged in new (8%) and older French barriques. A medium ruby red. Harmonious and complex on the nose with its aromas of red and black fruits, freshly grated cinnamon, incense and flowers. Just as well balanced on the palate which has both excellent depth and structure. The tannins are chiselled and long, as is the wine. A little patience will be required, and rewarded.
