2020 Julia Pinot noir
Our Julia Pinot noir is vinified from 40 year old vines located in a small block of Martin Ray Massale in the Abbey Ridge vineyard. It is is aged for two years in barrique with one additional year in bottle.
The nose shows top-level cru fruit saturation. It has a huge range of fruit profiles from blackberry to blueberry to strawberry, with a bit of licorice thrown in for good measure. Hints of charcuterie for you meat lovers. It’s reminiscent of wines made from vineyards above the village of Gevrey.
The label represents a native Madrone tree which grows next to the vineyard. Named in honor of Julia Wayne of Abbey Ridge, who also drew the illustration for the label, this extremely limited wine is elegant and charming, just like its namesake.
This is a wine you can age for years.
