Tasting Notes

Attributes

On the nose there’s an overt smokiness that rewards decanting in the
first few years after release. This opens to a concerto of florals backed
by wet earth, forest floor, mushroom, and a delightful marshmallow
note. The palate flows seamlessly with long silken tannins and intense
plum and red berry flavors. This is a Pinot worth pondering.

The Estate

Decibel, Testify, and Giunta Wines are winemaker’s, Daniel Brennan, vision to create wines using classic practices, minimal intervention, and wines with a community based attitude. These are ideas as old as wine itself and he believe strongly in them. However he look to the future as well. He has now had the privilege to work with some of these growers for years and can support their efforts to convert to organics. And as the lineup grows it is with great care to continue to find organic producers to work with.

Wine Making

This single vineyard wine was produced from a dry-farmed, organically
grown block with a unique soil structure for Martinborough; clay over
free-draining old riverbeds. Slightly more elevated than the typical
river terrace soils than most of Martinborough, this vineyard has great
exposure with a northeast aspect. The vines are planted in mostly
Dijon clones of 667, 777, 114 and 115, with a few rows of UCD Clone
5, half of which are planted on their own rootstock.
