Growing Conditions
Vineyard: Solaksen
Gård Vintners is 100% estate grown sustainably at Lawrence Vineyards in the Royal Slope AVA. Lawrence Vineyards features seven distinct vineyard sites with elevations ranging 930 feet to 1,675 feet. The combination of elevation and south-facing slope provides a great framework for grape production, while the diversity of the seven locations delivers a high level of complexity to Gård wines. Lawrence Vineyards is certified sustainable.
Nose
Dark cherry, tobacco leaf, blueberry jam, and hints of boysenberry. Swirling brings dark fruits, black licorice, and cedar.
Palate
The palate is broad, with tons of dark red and black fruits, oak spice, soft tannins, and a lifted acid presentation. The wine evolves constantly in the glass to more savory tones, without losing tension and lift. A beautiful Washington Pinot Noir that you can enjoy now or in the next 10 years.
Food Pairing
Beef Bourguignon, duck breast with cherry compote, mushroom dishes, gruyere, camembert
Aging
Stainless steel fermented: aged in new and neutral French oak for 16 months
