Passion Pinot Noir 2021
Passion is a supple, new world Pinot with a light color and an inviting rose petal and soft cherry nose.
Beautiful fruit approach with a darkness - blueberry character then the beautiful Pinot Noir - very satisfying perfect balance of acidity coats the mouth - a lovely luscious Pinot.
Faced with the challenges of drought and high altitude smoke from the Tahoe fires we had to adapt. With less available water, our crop and canopy management techniques were modified to balance the potential adverse effects of drought.
The high quality of our grapes remained intact and especially flavorful from fruit concentration since the vines didn’t receive excess water and the high altitude smoke allowed a longer hang time while decreasing extra sugar development albeit producing a significantly lighter crop due to our water conservation efforts.
In short, the 2021 year’s harvest brought lower crop yields, but the quality is excellent.
