Tasting Notes
The Benton Hills Pinot Noir offers youthful exuberance with aromas of ripe red cherries, hints of vanilla, and a smoky undertone. On the palate, its soft tannins and moderate acidity frame flavors of strawberry and earth, leading to a smooth, fresh and juicy finish.
Winemaking
This Pinot Noir shows beautiful balance of juicy red fruits alongside a stony texture and herbal accents. Early harvesting and cool gentle fermentation elicit these delicate flavors and aromas and preserve freshness. The wine is aged with light oak to add subtle notes of toast and sweetness. The wine is aged sur lees for 16 months before bottling.
