Description

Our last vintage of this rosé of Pinot Noir, the 2021 originates in the South and Lower Blocks (1/2 acre sections of the Home Vineyard). This site is southeast facing at 1600 ft elevation, planted on decomposed volcanic rock.

Rosés are normally produced from high-yielding vines, since weight, concentration, and longevity are not typically the main goals with such wines. This wine was produced from extremely low yields of about 0.75 ton/acre, making it a rare phenomenon and giving it – even at its very low 9.1% ABV – the concentration and ability to age for decades just like a top-class red Pinot Noir.  

2021 Tickled Noir: Purity, delicacy, focus, balance, length. Extra-ordinary aging ability.

Pinot Noir 100%.

Production: 44 cases. 9.1% Alc.

Order limit: 3 bottles.
