Winemaker's tasting note:
Our 2016 Westerhold Family Vineyards Pinot Noir bursts from the glass. This wine has an amazing richness that gives way to traditional Pinot Noir textures and a lively, mouthwatering finish. The fruit profile is ripe cherry, plum and strawberry, and is accented by beautiful spice qualities. On the palate, it is very supple already, but with a little cellar time you can expect even more weight and richness to develop. ~ Russell Bevan, Winemaker
