Vintage Notes
Located at an elevation of 2,200 feet, the prized old vines of Mills Vineyard produced a vivacious Pinot Noir in the exceptional 2021 growing season, with potent aromas of pomegranate, strawberry and cedar. On the palate, this wine is elegant and alluring, with silky tannins and pure, flowing flavors of black cherry, black currant and notions of stone fruits.
