Capiaux Widdoes Vineyard Pinot Noir 2018 (75cl)

Capiaux Widdoes Vineyard Pinot Noir 2018 is a single-vineyard Pinot Noir from Green Valley, Russian River Valley, Sonoma County. It is produced from Martini clone vines planted in 1982, farmed by Dutton Ranch, and grown in Goldridge fine sandy loam soil. Fermentation took place in open-top tanks with 10-20% whole clusters, followed by malolactic fermentation in barrel; the wine spent eleven months in barrel and was naturally fermented, unrefined, unfiltered and made with minimal new oak. Aroma: cranberry and root beer, with plum and forest floor undertones and subtle earthiness. Taste: ripe black cherry and pomegranate, dark fruit with a savory undercurrent, structured tannins and Martini clone depth. Finish: moderate to long, with lingering cranberry tartness, loamy earth and a subtle spice note from whole-cluster inclusion.
