Tasting Notes
Back to our portfolio for the first time since 2013, Pn is a light styled Pinot Noir blend for every occasion. Tart red cherries and soft beef broth and mushroom aromas flow into the palate as you swirl and sip. The Lemberger aspect of this easy and quaffable blend shows in the body and finish with delicate fall spice and pepper notes that grip the tongue ever so gently.

Vintage Notes
Winter of 2021 gave us some surprisingly warm days and just enough snow to be protective when the temperatures dipped low. Early spring was lovely - sunny and mostly dry with undisturbed flowering and fruit set. Beginning in June, the summer rains arrived and persisted through August. Once into September and more so in October, we were blessed with warm and dry weather, allowing us to round out our harvest season in good conditions. The abundant moisture during the summer months resulted in a smaller crop but yielded very fruit-driven and expressive reds and sparkling and bright and refreshing whites and rosés.
