Three Feathers Pinot Noir 2017 vintage

Presenting our 2017 Three Feathers Wines!

We are pleased to announce that our much anticipated 2017 wines have been Bottled and will Ship starting September 15.

2017 Three Feathers Pinot Noir

We continue to perfect our small-lot single-clone Pinot Noir from the Dijon Clone 667 grapes grown in Block One of Three Feathers Vineyard.  The complexity of this vintage is coming forth as the vines mature and their root structures dig deeper into Laurelwood soil.  This year’s wine is a ruby, garnet color with a light aroma of berry fruit and floral notes. The initial taste is slightly sweet with a tangy depth on the mid-palette and a lingering richness at the finish. We picked at a slightly higher Brix count of 23.5 and employed a new yeast this year: the combination of these factors has yielded a vintage that is fully enjoyable with or without food.

The 2017 Three Feathers Pinot Noir has an alcohol content of 13.9%. A total of 329 bottles were made.

Three Feathers Cuvée Virginia Pinot Noir 2017 vintage

2017 Cuvée Virginia Pinot Noir

This is the debut of our Cuvée Virginia Pinot Noir, named in honor of our mother and grandmother, Virginia Roosevelt Armentrout.  We picked grapes from our two vineyards, Three Feathers Vineyard and Torio Vineyard – located only one mile apart, and combined them for a complex, luscious Pinot Noir with a deep ruby red color.  We believe we have struck the perfect balance of sweetness and acidity without being cloying or losing the delicacy of Pinot. The grapes at both sites are Pinot Noir, but we have five different clones including an early ripening clone, Precoce, that is not seen frequently in the valley. Participants at several barrel tastings were very impressed with the Cuvée Virginia.

The 2017 Cuvée Virginia Pinot Noir has an alcohol content of 13.3%. A total of 1,980 bottles were made.
