Illahe Estate 'Percheron' Pinot Noir 2021

A vibrant Pinot Noir with notes of violet, chocolate, strawberry, black cherry, filbert, baking spice, and allspice. It has juicy, beautiful acidity with an underlying velvety structure. This wine will easily cellar for years.

This pinot is 100% estate grown and hand picked. It is from a single block at the very top of our hill that we consider to be the best block of pinot noir in our vineyard. We named this block after our Percheron draft horses. Fermentation is 100% native yeast. We macerate on the skins for 24 days and press in a wood basket. This wine is aged for 20 months in barrel with 50% new French oak barrels.
