2008 Nefarious Pinot Noir

The 2008 Nefarious will carry the same label as the 2005 Anniversary Pinot Noir which is the digitalized version of the big, giant painting (for those of you who have been to the winery before). The large format bottles will be adorned with labels that fit the size of the bottle so they are incredibly visually impactful as well as containing lots of great juice! Here is a description of the wine’s composition:

This wine was incredibly fun to put together. There were 3.5 barrels from one fermenter of our Estate Vineyard that simply blew us away from Day 1. This fermenter was done with about 65% whole clusters as opposed to de-stemming the grapes. The stems were beautifully ripe lending an incredible note of spice to the flavors and tannins to the structure. These barrels always represented the absolute pinnacle of quality in our cellar. Over time we became particularly enchanted with two barrels from Ana Vineyard and a barrel from the Block 1A section of Balcombe Vineyard. Happily these turned out not only to be great wines on their own but wines that blended together in a way that shows off the most-positive aspects of each barrel.
