2013 FEL Pinot Noir, Savoy Vineyard, Etched 3L
available
Of all the vineyards we work with in Anderson Valley, Savoy is consistently the most savory. The aromatics are an intriguing blend of black tea, cedar, and sage all wrapped around an intense core of black cherry. As the wine develops in the glass, hints of blackberry, plum, and caraway begin to unfold. Savoy Pinot Noir is always a mouth filling wine with great depth and texture, and in 2013 the flavors were exceptionally intense.
This beautiful bottle has an artfully etched label and wax seal.

Vineyard Notes
This wine is made of a blend of clones including several Dijon selections, Pommard, Martini, and Calera from the Savoy Vineyard near the town of Philo in the Anderson Valley Appellation.
Production Notes
The fruit was harvested September 17 through October 14 at an average of 24.2° Brix. It then went through a seven day cold soak at 50°F, a nine day uninoculated primary fermentation peaking between 90 and 94°F, and a seven to fourteen day extended maceration. The wine was aged fifteen months in 60 gallon French oak barrels, 59% of which were new. Coopers include Cadus, Damy, Rousseau, François Frères and Sirugue.
