2014 Adastra Vineyard Pinot Noir, Methode Ancienne
2014 Adastra Vineyard Pinot Noir, Methode Ancienne
Description
Such a deep, rich, ruby hue to adorn this beautiful, juicy hearty Pinot. Aromas of white pepper, sweet spice, dried strawberry, orange peel, and dusty red fruit lure you into the large, bright and energetic flavors of blue fruits, plum, raspberry and tea leaf. Fine grained yet powerful, taught tannins suggest laying this wine down for several years, or enjoying with a big steak anytime.
Méthode Ancienne is a French phrase that translates to “ancient method.” It’s a term we use to indicate a traditional and historic method of fermentation we use on extra special small lots when conditions are “just right”. Our Méthode Ancienne wines are fermented 100% whole cluster.
Adastra is a Certified Organic vineyard situated in the very heart of Los Carneros. Located in a low spot with cool air flow and very thin, relatively light clay-loam soils, it is a site with naturally low vigor. The low yields produce extraordinary fruit from vines that require little in the way of manipulation, a hallmark of an exceptional vineyard.
