Winemaker Phil Baxter’s affinity for Pinot Noir is on full display here, showcasing Ferrington vineyard’s hillside-driven intensity. Rich cherry, damp earth and a touch of dry earth aromas entice and lead to a generous palate that delivers the nose elements with lively acidity and a zesty finish that extends the cherry flavor impression. It’s the fine balance of all the elements makes this pop. This is a label worth watching! Contains Clones 828, Pommard, and 777 and shows minimal oak influence.
