This small wine lot was chosen from a unique selection of barrels in our quarter-mile-long underground cave and represents a beautifully rare representation of our Red Hills Vineyard. This wine has approximately 30% new French oak and 30% whole-cluster inclusion to showcase the briny and rusty, red fruited characteristics of our Red Hills Vineyard site.
Since Gary Andrus launched Archery Summit in 1993, our estate's affinity for whole-cluster fermentations has only grown. We feel like the red fruit character of Pinot noir wines from the Dundee Hills work very well with the nuances whole-cluster fermentations give our wines. With mindful extraction of whole cluster in our small batch ferments, we strive to make wines that showcase subtle spice, a lovely textured palate and longevity in the bottle.
