Wine Description
Created from our favorite barrels of the 2017 harvest, the Barrel Select Pinot Noir is aged in barrel and bottle for an extended period to bring out its signature warmth and richness. This is our most ageable wine with deep, fine tannins and bright fruit that hold on for decades. The Barrel Select Pinot Noir is the perfect wine to celebrate special moments big and small.
Tasting Notes
The 2017 Barrel Select is an even blend of Dijon clones 115 and 777, both of which were aged in new barrels, which is a departure from previous vintages. The Pinot Noir benefitted from 18 months of aging in barrel to create a warm, rich core. It's toasty but structured with defined tannins.

Reviews
“Aromas of graphite and earthy, sappy nuances with plenty of red fruit on offer, too. The palate has a smooth build of fresh red cherries with lovely, well-defined tannins holding fresh and long. Drink or hold. Glass cap closure.”
