This Pinot Noir originates from a 6.5-hectare site in the Dundee Hills AVA, where vines are rooted in the region's famous Jory soils. Aged for 15 months in 30% new French oak, this wine exudes freshness and clarity reminiscent of the Alpine lake depicted on its label. Juicy pomegranate seeds, cherry-raspberry leather, and sandalwood dominate the medium-bodied palate, framed by superfine tannins and a clean acid cut. Subtle hints of pine forest and cacao bean emerge on the long, elegant finish. The grapes were destemmed, underwent a 72-hour cold soak, and were treated with pump-overs and punch-downs before being pressed and settled for eight days. A 10-month élevage was followed by barrel-to-barrel racking for an additional five months.
