Joel Gott Oregon Pinot Noir

Product Description

After harvest, fruit from each vineyard was hand-sorted and de-stemmed. The wine was fermented in open-top fermenters and punched down twice daily. This gentler and more traditional form of cap management helps to retain the soft tannin structure of Pinot Noir. After fermentation, the fruit was gently pressed in a basket press which results in softer, more elegant tannins. The wine was then aged for approximately one year in 25% new French oak and 75% one-to-three-year-old French oak.

Aromas of ripe cherries, raspberries, blackberries and cola with notes of allspice. On the palate, bright fruit flavours and acidity lead to soft, velvety tannins on the mid-palate and a long, delicate finish with a hint of liquorice.
