2021 Fugio Estate Pinot Noir

The Fugio Pinot Noir comes from a block of cane-pruned Pommard situated on some of our steepest slopes and characterized by dense clay soils. The skins of the Fugio grapes tend to thicken and express more tannin, primarily due to the significant winds that blow through the block’s east-west oriented rows.

Recognizing this quality, we encourage further tannin development by employing whole cluster fermentation for this particular Pinot Noir, making it unique within our Estate offerings. As a result, Fugio shows a wilder side that many Pinotphiles enjoy, displaying gamey and tactile sensory characters that pair extraordinarily well with heartier dishes.
