2017 Weir Vineyard Pinot Noir, Yorkville Highlands
2017 Weir Vineyard Pinot Noir, Yorkville Highlands
Description
Such pronounced black cherry on the nose! Accented by fall baking spices, candied orange zest, brambly fruit, apple blossoms and white pepper… this elegant Pinot is bright and racy, yet velvety, lush and mouthcoatingly silky and sensual. Flavors of cranberry, apricot, strawberry, pink rose petals, Bing cherry, with an iron minerality and a hint of cedar grace the palate of this seamless, beautifully integrated, voluptuous and graceful wine.
Weir is our most far-flung vineyard located in the Yorkville Highlands. The vineyard’s elevation (850’-1000’) and aspect place it squarely in the path of cold air flowing in from the Mendocino coast. The vineyard incorporates several soil types and the topsoil is thin, limiting vine growth and vigor, while promoting concentration in the resulting wines.
