Winemaking notes
Handpicked and destemmed, fruit was fermented in small, stainless steel fermenters at cool temperatures for an average of 21 days. Aging for 11 months in new (20%), second use (30%) and neutral (50%) French oak - Cavin, Rousseau, Chassin, Taransaud, François Frères & Remond barrels.
Viticultural notes
Our vineyard selection for the Sonoma County Pinot has continued to improve over the years. We source from 18 different vineyards including parts of our Single Vineyard program, and the final blend includes 10 different clonal selections. This is the most important wine in the Banshee lineup, and we treat it as such.
Tasting notes
An exciting, yet friendly wine, bursting at the seams with aromas of macerated wild berries and an elegant, soft earth undertone. The flavors combine both sweet and tart, reminiscent of Santa Rosa plums and wild blackberries that grow so commonly in Sonoma Wine Country. The finish is bright, slightly herbal, and savory making this an excellent food wine, as well as a charming drinking experience by itself.
