Belle Pente Riona's Block Yamhill-Carlton Pinot Noir 2019

This is first vintage of the fabulous Riona's Block Pinot Noir, a special selection of six barrels sourced from a portion of the estate vineyard that was planted in 1999, the same year that Jill and Brian's daughter Riona was born.  Per their own verbiage - "This block is distinctive due to a vein of volcanic ash embedded in the sandstone formation beneath the vineyard, and since the block is now mature (like it's namesake!), we plan to make a small block-designated offering every year. For the debut rendition, the wine features 40% whole cluster fermentation, providing aromatic complexity and smooth, mouth filling tannins."  Vintage: 2019 Country: USA Region: Oregon Appellation: Yamhill-Carlton Grape: Pinot Noir Farming: Organic & Biodynamic Drink: Now-2030
