Description
The 2015 Atticus Vineyard Pinot Noir is only available to Wine Club members.
Our 2015 Atticus Vineyard is a blend of 40% Atticus Vineyard Pommard, 35% Dijon 777 and 25% Dijon 667. The wine was raised in 30% new French oak for 11 months. With a record early bud break for Atticus Vineyard on March 19th, this vintage was another warm one, producing wines with power and concentration but still with finesse. Intense blueberries, chocolate covered cherries and cappuccino. Luscious and beautiful. 14.1% alcohol.
ATTICUS VINEYARD
The Vineyard which adheres to sustainable farming practices contains Willakenzie soils and sits at an elevation of 300 feet with a south / south-west facing slope. Planted with over 4 acres of Pommard (80%) and Dijon 667 & 777 clones (20%) in 2005, the first vintage from this vineyard was in 2008. Wines from this site tend to be powerful yet elegant. In 2015, we picked the 667 and part of our Pommard blocks on Sept. 15th. The 777 and balance of the Pommard were picked a week later on Sept. 22nd. Atticus Vineyard is located in the Yamhill Carlton AVA.
Less than 125 cases were made.
