Wine Description
Initially thought to be the analogous of the legacy Block 1 blend, we endeavored to make our first vintage of what is our flagship Pinot noir, 2021 As One, to be a true reflection of our vineyard. As such, we took fruit from our volcanic Jory soil, marine sedimentary soil, and our wind-blown loess soil to blend what we think evokes the essence of Compris, included and understood. A warm, but not overly hot vintage allowing us fruit that showcased its terrior as having the ability to be structured and graceful at the same time. ~Dru Allen
Tasting Notes
A Pinot noir that greets with earthy notes and subtle fruitiness, unveiling damp earth, Damson plum, leather, and a hint of cedar on the nose. As you sip, fresh cherry takes center stage, held by firm, upright tannins that mellow into ripe Bing cherries. The finish is refreshingly elegant, clean, and smooth.

Reviews
“Earth and fruit collide as aromas of dark cherries, loam and wet slate mingle with seared steak and aged balsamic vinegar. The fruit is even darker on the palate, with blackberries holding court along with wee bits of black tea and orange zest. Brisk acidity is followed by a light, clean mouthfeel. - Michael Alberty”
