2020 PINOT NOIR

The Apolloni Vineyard estate is located on the northwestern border of the Willamette Valley in the foothills of the coastal range. The combination of this unique microclimate, along with the windblown Laurelwood soils, leads to beautiful primary fruit and floral aromatics. The natural acidity of the site is supported by fine tannins and a long finish.
