The 2021 Dark Horse Pinot Noir is a bright, balanced wine from the sun-drenched vineyards of California. Brilliant garnet in color, our Pinot Noir opens with aromas of plump strawberry and Bing cherry underscored by hints of dried rose and lavender. A smooth mouthfeel leads to a medium-long finish with layers of cherry compote and accents of plum, strawberry and a touch of tomato leaf.

Details

We harvested the grapes for this wine during the cool evening hours. Grapes were then brought to the winery, destemmed, and gently crushed before being fermented at temperatures of between 88°-92°F. This warmer fermentation served to further concentrate flavors and extract intense color from the skins. We co-ferment Gewurztraminer with some of our Pinot Noir for added complexity, and to add hints of spice and rose to the aroma. The wine was aged on oak post fermentation to add complexity and balance.
