Ten Minutes by Tractor 'Up The Hill' Pinot Noir

This delicious Main Ridge Pinot Noir starts with notes of red cherry, plum, and rose petals. The joyful fruit has a raspberry cola edge, accentuated by a smooth, velvety texture, chewy mineral tannins with a hint of char, and the wine has excellent depth and presence right away. A nicely structured, black wine that expresses the terroir and the season.

Fruit was hand-sorted by our winery team. Each parcel was cold soaked before a wild yeast fermentation, 16-20 days on skins in a combination of concrete and stainless-steel fermenters. Pressed off into new and older oak in both barrique and puncheon oak formats. Natural malolactic fermentation.

8 months: 15% new oak.
