2018 Annapolis Ridge Vineyard Pinot Noir
Our exceptional Annapolis Ridge Vineyard Pinot Noir is distinguished by its terroir-driven style highly reflective of this rugged coastal site. The wine's depth on the palate is framed by fine, finessed tannins and an uplift of bright acidity that will support long aging in the cellar. Dark fruit notes of blueberry, plum, black cherry and crushed wild blackberry present at the forefront , with spiced fig, nutmeg and dried florals adding contrast and lift. Hints of cream and soft leather on the full mid-palate bring richness before a long, layered finish.

The 2018 Pinot Noir Annapolis Ridge Vineyard has a medium ruby-purple color and delivers dark-fruited, broody notes of black raspberries, mulberries and black cherries with hints of rose oil, wild fungi and powdered cinnamon plus a waft of tobacco leaf. The medium to full-bodied palate has a firm frame of ripe, finely grained tannins and bold freshness supporting the taut, muscular fruit, finishing long and layered. 500 cases were made.
