Estate Bottled, Russian River Valley
Price: $78
In 1973, our Old Vine Hillside Vineyard was planted on twelve-foot rows…generous spacing by any modern standard. As those original vines produced less fruit over the decades, we made an unusual choice: rather than pull them out and replant, we planted an entirely new vineyard down the center of every row. That interplanting, now with more than a decade in the ground, is the source of this wine. It is typically the richest of our Pinot Noirs, with red and dark fruit in equal measure…and tannins built for the cellar. Roughly 150 cases produced.
