2021 Pinot Noir, Roadside Picnic

VINEYARDS: The Enz Vineyard is located in the Lime Kiln AVA and was originally planted in the late 1800s along the San Andreas fault, making it among the oldest in the state. The vineyard is dry-farmed and organic.

WINEMAKING: 30% whole cluster. Gently punched down twice a day. Long cool fermentation. We aged this wine for 10 months in neutral French Oak. We produced 4 barrels. 13.1% Alc.Vol.

TASTING NOTES: Black Raspberry, Dried Rose, Iron

WHY WE LIKE IT: The Enz Vineyard always brings out the juicy, aromatic side of Pinot Noir, balanced by a savory edge from the inclusion of whole clusters.
