    Hazards Vineyard, East Coast; 34% whole bunches; fermented in 16% new French oak barrels. The exotic exuberance of whole bunches changes the game for Hazards Vineyard pinot noir, filling it with Campari, burnt orange rind and orange bitters. It will appreciate time for this flamboyance to settle down, making space for its spicy berry fruits to assume their rightful position. It holds the fine-grained tannins, bright acidity and undeterred persistence to go the distance.

The fruit underwent a cold soak and was plunged twice a day until fermentation began, with the inclusion of partial whole bunches. Hand plunging occurred in open-top fermenters, increased to up to four times a day during the middle part of fermentation. Fermentation temperatures hovered around 30ºC. After basket pressing, the wine settled for 48 hours before being transferred to French oak barrels, including 16% new oak.
