2020 PINOT NOIR - Lamb's Quarters Vineyard

Dry Red Table Wine
100 cases produced
Grape: 100% Pinot Noir
Alcohol: 12.7%
Total sulfite addition: 35 ppm
- Whole cluster/foot crushed, 100% stem inclusion
- Old French oak barrels: 11 months

TASTING NOTE: Black cherry, crushed leaves and oak spice aromas. Dense in the mouth with sweet cherry fruit, bright acid and firm fine-grained tannin.

ELEVAGE: Grapes were foot crushed and put whole cluster into one ton bins to ferment with once daily punchdowns. After thirteen days the grapes were pressed and settled juice was moved to old French oak barrels to complete fermentation. In late-August of 2021 the wine was racked out of barrel into tank and bottled by hand without fining or filtration.

VINEYARD: In Lodi, New York on the eastern shore of Seneca Lake grower Mark Wagner maintains one hundred and twelve acres of vines over twenty unique plots with soils primarily composed of Honeoye Silt Loam and Lansing Gravely Loam over shale. These vineyards are meticulously cared for with an eye towards sustainability and produce classic Finger Lakes wines with wonderful balance and clarity.
