From the winery: "The unusually long 2002 summer was key in making this unadulterated Port style Pinot Noir. This extended Vintage allowed us to keep the fruit on the vine through the end of October, reaching extremely high sugars (28Brix), while attaining remarkably complex flavors. The picking decision was driven by the start of dehydration, allowing raisining to encompass 10-15% of the cluster. Barreled into mostly neutral French oak, the Port was left to age for eleven months, and then bottled on our own bottling line unfined and unfiltered.
