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

An on-the-mark Pinot Noir like only Weir Vineyard can produce! As harvest 2021 approached, Yorkville Highlands experienced unseasonably warm weather. However, the long warm days were buoyed by cool nights, during which the vines gained much-needed recovery. Then, like clockwork, when September’s second week came to a close, the grapes reached optimal maturity, and a perfectly healthy crop was hand-harvested at sunrise.

A site of undeniable terroir! Weir Vineyard’s indelible character was perfectly complemented by the 2021 vintage. On the nose, a proud Pinot Noir personality of red fruits is complemented by accents of forest floor, cocoa nibs, and cinnamon. The fruity palate of cranberry and cherry is supported by regal tannins, which expands into a spicy middle informed by minor stem inclusion and finishes broad and fresh.
