Gold Medal - 2019 Michigan Wine Competition
Our 2017 vintage is the first from this small farm to receive a single-vineyard designation.
Located along the spine of the Old Mission Peninsula, this single acre of Pinot Noir is cane pruned, yielding less fruit with more concentrated flavors. The vineyard consists of 4 Pinot Noir clones, planted together proportionately to yield an ideally balanced Pinot Noir when harvested and blended. This limited production Pinot features a palate of dark blueberry and strawberry, with light floral notes, framed by delicate oak. A must-try for any Pinot Noir fan.
