Description
Our Journeyman Pinot Noir Zio Tony Vineyard is farmed by our good friend George Martinelli. The iconic vineyard has been in their family for generations. We purchase Chardonnay from the vineyard but just a month prior to harvest 2021, a grower pulled out of his Pinot Noir conta=ract and George asked us if we knew someone who might want it….EASY…YES…US! The price was steep but we decided to wait until we hosted George and his wife front row at a Kenny Chesney concert before negotiating….and that is sometimes how one gets Pinot from the Zio Tony Vineyard! A gorgeous classic Russian River Pinot with red and black cherry flavors, currant and sweet leather. The Francios Freres French oak provides a vibrant, strong structure.
