Tasting Notes This classic Pinot Noir is dark garnet in color with a dark berry, brambly nose that is clearly Eola-Amity Hills. On the palate, black raspberry, black currant, purple plum, and other fresh dark fruits abound. This Zeitoun has enough acid to be food friendly and its medium-grained tannins offer pleasant and refreshing structure while giving it the ability to age for a decade.

Scores 94 points, Prince of Pinot 88 points, Wine Enthusiast

Winemaking Notes 100% destemmed whole berry fermentation after maceration for 3-5 days, punch down twice daily during fermentation, 100% malolactic degradation. Aged for 14 months in 50% new French oak and 50% neutral French oak.

Vineyard Notes Zeitoun Vineyard, our smallest vineyard at about 7 acres of eroded volcanic rock over marine sedimentary soil, is located at a saddle in the hill just east of the winery in the Eola-Amity Hills AVA. This rocky vineyard with its deep pockets of clay produces structured wines that are naturally dark in color and redolent of dark bramble and plum fruits. We do not know what clones are planted in this mysterious vineyard.
