2021 Holloran Pinot Noir "Cuvée Gran Jean"
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.

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.
