With pinot noir we strive to remove the winemaker's signature, allowing the voice of the vineyard to be the overriding expression. Utilizing a protocol of minimal intervention and whole cluster fermentation, stems play a vital role in both our farming and fermentation processes, ultimately adding structure to the wine. They are an integral part of what we receive from the vineyard and offer architechture to the wines, allowing them to gain complexity and depth as they age. The fruit from each vineyard is handled identically from harvest to bottling, allowing the true essence of the site to best be expressed.
