Winemaking
We harvest our Pinot Noir at about 23.5 Brix, de-stem before maceration and perform gentle, in the top of tank Pulsair cap management technique. Our fermentations take about a week to avoid harsh tannic flavors. After pressing and malolactic fermentation, the wine ages 10-16 months in barrels and tanks before blending and bottling.

2019 Rainstorm Pinot Noir
EDITORS’ CHOICE
This well-constructed value wine offers light raspberry and strawberry buoyed by gentle acidity. There is just enough of a phenolic edge to the tannins to keep the finish firm.
