Description
Our 2015 Yamhill Carlton is a blend of 50% Atticus Vineyard Pommard, 35% Dijon 667 and 15% Dijon 777. The wine was raised in 40% new French oak for 11 months with about 50% of the wine in puncheons or larger format barrels. This wine shines with fragrant sweet blueberries and floral notes. The palate greets you with fleshy plums, brambles and a pleasant earthiness that is elegantly balanced with fine grained tannins and a lingering finish with hints of espresso. 14.1% alcohol. SOLD OUT.
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 September 15th. The 777 and balance of the Pommard were picked a week later on September 22nd. Atticus Vineyard is located in the Yamhill Carlton AVA.
Less than 300 cases were made.
