then racked into French oak for the malolactic fermentation

Very cohesive with a gentle grip on the finish

more backward and powerful than the Gravelly Meadow

A background application of wood is sufficiently subtle to allow the notably spicy and ripe yet quite cool aromas of both red and black pinot fruit

with refreshing acidity and a beautiful transparency
