Pinot Noir Gemini Vineyard

The Laurelwood soil of Gemini Vineyard is a rich, wind-blown loess that contributes vigor to the plants and good acid to the wines made from these grapes, which are grafted, 29-year-old, Scott Henry–trained, Pommard clone Pinot noir. The grapes are wild-yeast fermented in stainless steel, 100% barrel aged for 12-15 months in older French oak, then the best two to four barrels are selected and assembled as the best of the best. The red-is-red-is-red nature of Gemini Vineyard fruit is persistent, delivering serious acid, concentrated cherry fruit and opulent texture to the wine.
