The 2024 Pinot Noir Reserve is the product of an exceptional vintage. 2024 was a near-perfect growing season, creating concentrated flavors in our 100% Finger Lakes-grown grapes. Our Estate Valois and Davis vineyards together make up 50% of the wine, contributing to its delicate, distinct character. Along with the vineyard, the barrels used during winemaking can help distinguish quality worthy of a reserve bottling. The forest where the wood is sourced, the length and location of seasoning, the length and intensity of toasting, and the cooperage’s touch all have immense effects on how the barrel interacts with each vineyard.
