Grown at the top of the Spring Mountain Vineyard estate, at almost 1600 feet in elevation, the second vintage of Pinot Noir captures a unique mountain flavor and texture. Charming aromas of cherry and strawberry mingle with waves of sandalwood and spice box on the nose. The palate is soft and lush, echoing the aromas of bright cherry and strawberry with hints of cinnamon. Touches of delicate rose petals are knitted into the wine for a lingering finish.

Additional Notes
The 2004 vintage stands out as memorable, with fruit that bears the imprint of an early spring, and a slow and steady ripening period that ended several weeks ahead of traditional harvest timelines. Warm, consistent summer weather was bracketed by an early spring budbreak and several late-summer hot spells, creating growing conditions that allowed for one of the earliest harvest periods in almost a decade. The result was an unusual opportunity for making outstanding wine.
