2018 HELEN’S PINOT NOIR
SRP: $75 | 371 Cases Produced
PERSONALITY
Elegant, Refined, Bright
WINE OVERVIEW
Named after Bill Stoller’s aunt, this wine is made primarily
from the Wädenswil clone of Pinot Noir. Helen’s has an
elegant nose of ripe, succulent red fruit and Italian plum,
which gives way to secondary notes of earth and rose
petals. The palate is vibrant with a delicate tension that is
supported by flavors of red fruit and a ferrous minerality
through a long finish.
HARVEST OVERVIEW
On average, the 2018 vintage was a warmer and drier
growing season. The vintage kicked off with an early bud
break. June saw a cool, wet weather period during bloom
put the vintage back on track for a traditional September
harvest. The most notable climatic feature to the 2018
vintage, was our extended summer harvest weather that
continued into early November. This allowed us to pick
based on ripe flavors and near-perfect natural acidity.
