We are so proud of this wine. Our only year working with Mimi Casteel's Hopewell Vineyard (Willamette Valley, OR) before she sold. We harvested the Pommard clone fruit at what felt like optimal ripeness, but the wine was so firmly tannic we decided to bottle age it until it felt more ready to drink. That moment is now, though the wine will surely improve with further cellaring. Fermented and aged in used puncheons featuring 33% whole cluster. Don't be afraid to give this some air.
