2024 The AV Way Pinot Noir
Wine Club Members Receive 20-25% Off
Tasting Notes
2024 was an exceptional growing season which led to our best vintage of AV Way Pinot yet! This wine has deep aromas of raspberry, blackberry, and a hint of grandma’s chocolate chip cookies. You know, the ones with oatmeal and brown sugar that melt in your mouth. Ten months in oak adds spices of cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla.
Vineyard Notes
The year started with significant rainfall which made for a late start. Being two weeks behind had growers nervous and then a significant heat event in July caught things up. The heat event stopped the canopy growth at an ideal height without causing any damage to the fruit because of how early it was in the season. In fact, it hastened harvest by reducing berry sizing leading to a smaller, more intensely flavored crop (just like in a drought year). The early harvest was warmly welcomed after such a late 2023 and the fruit looked exciting coming into the winery.
Pairings
The refreshing acid makes this easy to sip with friends and would pair beautifully with a triple cream, or spring rack of lamb, or a Spring favorite, roasted beet tartare.
