WINERY NOTES:
We try to use this wine as our looking glass to figure out what is yet to come from all of the other HF and EW wines that are still in barrel. 2023 was a curious vintage whose budbreak was 6 weeks late, flowering was within historic averages, and amazingly! harvest was right on time. Along with Le Puits Sec and J, this is the wine Im most proud to offer: a truly artisanal, hands-off pinot noir made the same way as our single-vineyard wines at a most reasonable price. Surprisingly well knit together already! Focused, floral aromatics foreground red apple, marionberry, sour cherry and spice on the nose moving to riper plum and savory mouth-filing fruit with juicy acid and succulence on the finish.
