2019 RAW Pinot Noir

Appellation: Lincoln Lakeshore

Estimated Drinking Window: 2022-2030

Serve:  18°C

Winemaker’s Notes: We picked the fruit by hand and the whole bunches were put in tanks and filled with CO2 for 10 days. Then we pumped over for 2 weeks and after we destemmed and left the wine on its skins for 20 days. We only used free-run juice for this which we transferred to concrete and left until bottling. No filtration was done on this wine.

Sommelier’s Notes: This is a fuller and more intense version over the 2018 example. The vintage was riper and the fruit was a year older. The nose is cherry and strawberry jello, wild flower and an herbal dill tone. The palate is dry and concentrated, with a lively freshness that stays on the palate. This is one of my favourite Pinots that we’ve made to date. Serve this with chicken roasted on a bed of vegetables and finished with flaky salt and vegetables. In a pinch, Swiss Chalet would do well.
