2021 Belle Pente Estate Reserve Pinot Noir, Yamhill-Carlton District Cabernet with savage tones of blackThis 2021 version also continues our migration toward adding a little whole cluster fermentation to our top wines. This rendition includes around 24% whole bunches, providing more aromatic complexity and slightly more pronounced tannins to balance the lush, ripe fruit from this warm vintage. As in prior years, the clonal mix is heavily weighted toward the Wadensvil selection (56%) with the balance Dijon 777 and 115. Look for dark black fruit flavors
