“Fresh and bright black-raspberry aromas meet with a richer black-cherry streak as well as sagebrush and crushed slate on the nose of this bottling by regional pioneer Steve McIntyre. It sizzles on the palate with spicy root beer and black-cherry flavors, undercut by a pencil-lead minerality.”

Winemaker Notes:

“The confluence of favorable weather, mature vines, sustainable farming techniques (SIP Certified) and minimalistic winemaking practices yielded one of the most complete wines we have ever produced. Our 2017 McIntyre Estate Vineyard Pinot Noir is deep, dark, intense, powerful and exotic. It delivers a plethora of the sensory goodies stretching from earth to fruit. Highlights include plums, blueberries, violets and silky tannins.”

Alcohol: 14.5%

Sustainably farmed.
