2019 Escolle Vineyard Pinot Noir, SLH
2019 PINOT NOIR
ESCOLLE VINEYARD • SANTA LUCIA HIGHLANDS
MONTEREY COUNTY
Planted in 2008, the Escolle Vineyard sits in the nothrern portion of the Santa Lucia Highlands. This vineyard site is composed of mostly gravelly loam and is meticulously farmed using only minimal water. The result is intense Pinot Noir fruit with thick skins and bright acidity. To showcase both the intensity and balance of this vineyard site, the fruit was harvested at moderate sugars and femented using native yeasts. The wine was then aged for 10 months in neutral French oak barrels before bottled unfined and unfiltered allowing the transparency of the terroir to shine.
