Our flagship wine, The Estate is the most comprehensive expression of our vineyard site. The 2013 Patton Valley Estate Pinot Noir comes from a vintage that produced a wide range of wines showcasing the nuance of place, style, and approach of vineyard and winemaker. Late season rain complicated an ideal growing season, but beneficially slowed ripening and held acidity. This is a pure expression of Pinot Noir. With all of the coiled energy of a high-tension wire, this wine is powerful and reserved with blackberry, crème brûlée, bergamot, cherry and stone. This will develop slowly, rewarding the patient, and delighting those drinkers that seek bright, ysterious, and complex wines.
