THE FARM Mason Vineyard Pinot Noir 2020

The Mason vineyard allows The Farm to work with two distinct terroirs within the Twenty Mile Bench appellation. The grapes are handpicked and hand sorted and undergo a wild fermentation (both primary and secondary) with a cold soak and a long maceration on skins post fermentation. The nose and midpalate of this wine lean more towards stewed cherries, ripe strawberries, baking spice and sarsaparilla. A solid backbone with good tannin structure that will soften with additional bottle aging.

THE FARM Neudorf Vineyard Pinot Noir 2020

The grapes are hand picked, hand sorted and undergo a wild fermentation (both primary and secondary) with a cold soak and a long maceration on skins post fermentation. Fermented and aged in French oak barrels ranging from 2nd fill to completely neutral.

The 2020 vintage has a nose that shifts between an intriguing earthiness, wild strawberries, and a soft floral undertone. The midpalate shows the vineyard hallmark – incredible fruit concentration of raspberry and cherry. The texture is silky with fine tannins and an elegant long finish.
