Presqu’ile Vineyard

Earth-anchored aromas and flavors of huckleberries and mixed, crushed cherries are woven with sarsaparilla, tilled earth, bouquet garni and a saline seam through the red-tea finish. There is notable textural detail to this pinot and a length to the elegant tannins that promises fruitful evolution for years to come. Drink or hold.

This countywide blend must be coming from the couple of select vineyards that this winery uses regularly. That explains the snappy cranberry, raspberry, thyme, bay leaf and green-peppercorn aromas of the nose. The palate dances with tantalizing acidity, offering more bay leaf, game and woody forest fruits, leading into an incense-spiced finish.
