Maggy Hawk Jolie Pinot Noir 2020 (750ml) HilltopsHARVEST NOTES For many winemakers, the 2020 vintage was one that theyd like to forget as the fires that plagued Northern California just before harvest either prevented the picks altogether, or the resulting wines were heavily smoke affected. Luckily, Anderson Valley was untouched by the fires and smoke, and the Maggy Hawk wines from this vintage are quite exceptional. Rainfall during the growing season was low, and yields were smaller as well,
this wine has a slightly lower pH than the 2016: 3
but this walks the line with grace
tobacco and roasted alder along the way
Spain is truly a one-of-a-kind wine-producing nation
Wonderful tropical fruit flavors are balanced by just a touch of French oak to round out the finish
Tasting Note: This Steadfast Cabernet Sauvignon is our top tier wine made by our extraordinary wine maker
Aging: stainless steel
and a slightly tannic substance
Temperatures in summer were within normal ranges
and its dense purple hue is followed by gorgeous black cherry and cassis fruits interwoven with ample tobacco leaf
in oak foudres and aged in oak barrels for 15 to 18 months
but has been leased to a Japanese operating company since 1989
