From densely planted, top hillside vineyards, handpicked at night, sorted and destemmed, punched down and pumped over twice daily and aged for ten months in all French oak.
The winery says:
A strong core of dark fruits and chocolate are lifted with notes of lingonberry, hyacinth and fresh mandarin. Brilliant acidity and impeccable balance characterize the full, ripe palate, filled with flavors of supple red raspberry and dark cherry, building texture on the palate and lingering through the velvety finish.
This is a quantum leap above the previous Forefront Pinots from mainly San Luis Obispo (as good as they were).
