This wine is a blend of approx 75% Pinot Noir grapes from the Pali Vineyard in Sonoma Coast (Southeast corner of the AVA) combined with approx 25% Pinot Noir grapes from a vineyard in the Russian River Valley that we source from each year

giving it a drying edge on the close

Ultimate Beverage Challenge 97 points - This is a true juniper lover’s gin that has aromatics reminiscent of freshly trimmed evergreen trees

While also offering a rounded mouth feel with a notable palate weight and smooth texture

Maume does not believe in using new clones but is a strong believer in the diversity of old Pinot stock

Glenfiddich Scotch Single Malt 12 Year Our Signature Malt 2009 skus_30279622 This wine is a blendNose: Light grass with sweet fruit notes pushing through. No note of earthiness (peat, smoke, etc.) which is a little surprising. Water tends to fade the nose without continued agitation. Palate: Apples, grass (like sitting in a meadow), and sweet cream (pre whipped sweetened heavy cream). Water mutes the more delicate notes. Finish: Short and fleeting. Not much but it leaves you with notes of apple skin.
