2015 Bow Tie Vineyard Pinot Noir
Our estate Bow Tie Pinot Noir was crafted entirely from grapes grown on our Bow Tie Vineyard, located along the Westside Road corridor south of Healdsburg. A combination of six clones, Bow Tie Pinot Noir offers layers of rich flavor for a memorable expression of this premier Russian River Valley vineyard. Together, these clones create a distinct Pinot Noir with an incredible depth of character. Highly aromatic, the wine opens with generous notes of lavender and fennel. On the rich, expressive palate, flavors of ripe blueberry and plum chutney blend with hints of spicy chai.

Medium ruby-purple colored, the 2015 Pinot Noir Bow Tie Vineyard offers up crushed cranberries and black raspberries with touches of dried mulberries and blueberry preserves plus hints of rose hip tea and underbrush. Full-bodied, rich, ripe and opulent, a spicy character emerges in the mouth, focusing the red and blue fruits, and it finishes with a wonderfully plush texture. 750 cases produced.
