Tasting notes
From a single vineyard in Marin County located north of the Golden Gate bridge, the 2016 Pinot Noir Marin County was mostly destemmed and spent 17 months in 38% new French oak. It’s a medium to full-bodied, textured effort that has loads of bright cherry and cranberry fruit, plenty of loamy earth and compost, a touch of smoky stem character, solid mid-palate depth, and outstanding length. It will be thrilling to drink bottles over the coming 7-8 years, and I wouldn’t be surprised to see it keep even longer.

Aged for 17 months in 38% new French oak and bottled unfined and unfiltered, the medium ruby-purple colored 2016 Pinot Noir Marin County leaps from the glass with vibrant black and red cherries, cranberries and violets with hints of rose hip tea, hemp and black soil. Medium to full-bodied, the palate delivers mouth-coating red and black fruits with bags of earthy nuances and a plush texture, finishing very long. 248 cases produced.
