2021 Holloran Pinot Noir "Cuvée Gran Jean" 1.5
Tasting notes
The wine pours a lovely dark crimson, with a nose of black cherry plus cinnamon and spice. The palate is broad & quite rich, with notes of strawberry and red cherry. The finish extends, and coats the entire mouth, showing ripe tannins. Enjoy with Pork Chops with Cherry Rhubarb Sauce.

2021 Holloran Pinot Noir Cuvee Gran Jean
The 2021 growing season was warmer than the 20-year average. The ‘heat dome’ experienced in late June (temps over 115 for a couple days) had no significant effect as the berries had just set. We picked by hand, then hand sorted, and destemmed 100%, and fermented primarily with cultivated yeasts. After a gentle pressing, we aged it 18 months in French oak barrels.
