The 2016 Vintage was another drought year, with early bud-break, bloom and veraison. Poor weather during the early bloom caused shatter and millerandage. Vine stress became an issu e late in the year with many of our dry farmed vines showing water and nutrient stress for the first time. The resulting wines are bright and energetic with mid-weight personalities. These are profoundly aromatic and balanced wines that are site expressive and pure. "The 2016 Pinot Noir Razorback Vineyard is marked by expressive tobacco and earthy notes that give the wine its distinctive signatures. Powerful, broad and ample on the palate, the 2016 is one of the bigger wines in the range." - Antonio Galloni, Vinous 91 points Show more
