Aged for 12 months in French oak, 25% new, the 2018 Pinot Noir Deer Camp Vineyard has a medium ruby-purple color and leaps from the glass with intense fragrant earth, fallen leaves and tilled soil scents over a core of black raspberries, pomegranate and violets with a waft of baker's chocolate. The medium-bodied palate offers a solid structure of finely grained tannins with bold freshness lifting all those earth-laced red berry layers to a long finish. Interestingly, this wine is made almost entirely from Martini clone—just one of the fascinating heritage clones from around these parts. 565 cases were made.
