2020 WEIR VINEYARD Yorkville Highlands
$50.00
- Description
The Vineyard
The Weir Vineyard Yorkville Highlands is located on a south facing hillside of rocky gravely soils at an elevation that ranges between 850 and 1000 feet. Cool ocean air funnels up the Anderson Valley to regulate the ripening of the exceptional fruit from this vineyard.Winemaker Notes
Weir Vineyard was harvested in early September. A beautiful, healthy crop led to a fermentation that produced pure, heady Pinot Noir aromas while percolating in tank for two weeks. Once the yeast finished its job, the wine was moved to French oak barrels for a 16-month slumber. During this elevage, our 2020 Weir Vineyard bottling developed a gorgeous kaleidoscope of red cherry fruit, complemented by complexities of pine-forest floor, cinnamon stick, and baker’s chocolate. The textures are seamless, allowing the wine to delicately dance down the palate, then linger as an endless array of Pinot Noir nuances unspools deep into the finish. A wine of purity, transparency, and finesse. Weir Vineyard was a real triumph of terroir in 2020. Utterly delicious!
