2019 Two Row Proprietor's Cuvee
Description
Our Two Row Proprietor's Cuvee is a blend of all seven Pinot Noir clones that were picked and fermented together, enabling you to taste the entire vineyard with each sip. Varietal, clones, elevations, fruit ripeness, soil profiles, aspect, rootstocks, and most of all, Mother Nature, are all expressed.
Tasting Notes
Another warm vintage and low yields resulted in concentrated fruit flavors. Aromatics were driven by ripe fruit flavors of blackberry, cherry, and plum. The mouth fills with fruit, soft tannins and subdued acid. The finish is lingering and heavenly. Drink now through 2031 for the best taste.
