2021 Holloran Pinot Noir Eola-Amity Hills
Tasting notes
Black cherry aromas flow from the glass with minimal swirling, followed by grilled citrus notes. The palate flavors transition to a deep red cherry, that persists and deepens on the tongue. The finish is long, with ripe tannins and crisp acidity framing the core of pure red fruit.

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, 8% new.
