2016 Heart & Hands Nutt Road Vineyard Finger Lakes Pinot Noir

12.9% alc., pH 3.63, TA 0.58, 49 cases. Clones 115, 667 and 777, yield 2.6 tons per acre. Each clone vinified separately. 50% whole cluster cofermented with 50% de-stemmed grapes. Aged 12 months in Francois Fréres French oak barrels. · Light ruby red color in the glass. The nose is oak inspired with aromas of dark roast, toast and chocolate with cherry in the background. Light to mid weight in style, featuring flavors of cherry, strawberry and baking spices framed by firm, but not imposing tannins. The finish is modest and there is a little too much oak at play for my taste. Score: 88. Reviewed July 20, 2019
