WINEMAKER’S NOTES:
The 2015 Johnson Ridge Vineyard Pinot Noir is a blend of 777 (60%) and pommard (40%) clones. Each contributes unique characteristics: 777 adds dark color, black cherry and blackberry flavors, while pommard adds blueberry and a slightly smoky, earthy note. The resulting wine has dark ruby color, flavors of dark berries, black cherry, and hints of blueberry, pine forest floor, and fresh earth. It displays dense mid-palate volume, velvety tannins, and a long seamless finish.
