132 cases produced
Buy Now Our estate vineyard in the Dundee Hills is comprised of 13 different blocks planted across 16 acres. The Legacy, our most precious wine, is an exclusive selection of own-rooted Pinot noir sourced from vines planted between 1974 and 1976. This fruit was exceptionally precious in 2016. The wine seems to echo that with delicate notes and a deft, persistent character. Aromas of bay leaf, raspberry, candy cap and chanterelle mushroom, and chamomile are punctuated by orange pekoe, cinnamon, and rose. Firm but balanced tannins carry notes of strawberry and earth on a silky and intoxicating finish.
