2019 Old Vine Estate Pinot Noir
The Ruby Vineyard Old Vine Estate Pinot Noir is entirely comprised of 43 year old own rooted pinot noir from our estate vineyard. On the nose there are hints of ripe red fruits over-laid by darker toned blue fruits. The generous pallet shows off the deep concentration of old vines and the 2019 growing season. Soft yet supple tannin’s carry the wine through the mid-pallet leaving the taster with a slightly spicy finish.

WINE ENTHUSIAST 95 Points, Cellar Selection
Getting to use fruit from nearly 50-year-old vines is a privilege: this winemaker takes full advantage. The wine's silky tannins provide a pretty partner for elevated acidity and a plush, luxurious mouthfeel. Aromas and flavors of tart raspberries, violets, toffee and saline are difficult to resist. Enjoy now until 2033. — Michael Alberty
