Tasting notes
Pale to medium ruby-purple, the 2016 Pinot Noir Weir Vineyard has a nose of saline, nori, warm earth, wet bark, cranberry and crushed cherry with notes of rhubarb, black tea leaves, charcuterie and dried flowers. The palate is light to medium-bodied and silky with bright red fruits and earthy accents knit by grainy tannins and juicy acidity, finishing long and spicy. This walks a lovely line between fresh fruit and savory character. 843 cases produced.

The 2016 Pinot Noir Weir Vineyard is laced with the essence of dried cherry, mint, crushed flowers, anise, orange peel and exotic spice. Readers will find a perfumed, mid-weight Pinot built on floral and savory notes rather than on overt fruit. The Weil is delicate, understated and very pretty.
