THE WINE
Primarily from our famed Prince Hill Vineyard, this single-barrel offering was selected from the very best Dundee Hills Pinot Noir we crafted in 2021. Small-batch fermentations allowed us to employ a range of techniques deemed to best suit each vineyard block, broadening the palette we have to select from. We decided on this particular second-filled barrel because of its uniqueness and early approachability, though this wine will also reward cellaring.
