60 Souls Pinot Noir 2018

The wet, cool spring delayed flowering for our Pinot Noir vines until late June, setting the stage for a later harvest. Hot, dry conditions prevailed throughout the summer and August 2018 was the warmest August on record across the state. Addressing the higher fruit set in August proved wise and thinning ensured optimal fruit quality and flavors. Late September and into October provided some great hang time with cool temperatures.

This was one of the latest harvests on record. Regardless, the fruit came in without flaw. The fermenters hummed along at a classic pace finishing off with what was to be a challenging but ultimately exceptional vintage.
