2019 Reserve Pinot Noir 1.5L
Magnum Release
The cool, ocean-influenced climate of Jespersen Ranch produces remarkable growing conditions for Pinot Noir, and 2019 was no exception. All of our Pinot Noir undergoes fermentation in small, 3-ton stainless steel tanks at our Craft Winery. In 2019 we hand-harvested and destemmed the grapes into four tanks, with one including a portion of dried stems. After fermentation, we use a basket press to gently press the grapes and transfer the wine to barrels to age for 10 months. We tasted through each barrel, and only the most expressive were selected for the final blend. The 2019 vintage is rich and layered, with stunning aromatics. The palate is redolent with dark fruit flavors, spice, and structure.
