2024 The Estate Pinot Noir

From every Pinot Noir block on the estate

The Estate brings together fruit from every Pinot Noir block at Lonesome Rock, capturing the range of clones, soils, elevations, and exposures across our hillside vineyard.

Clones 667, 777, Wadenswil, and PN50, planted in 2007 and 2015, come together in a wine that represents the vineyard as a whole.

The nose opens with pomegranate and black cherry, followed by notes of brown sugar, molasses, and violet. The palate is generous and open even in its youth, with supple fruit and suede-like tannins. Freshness carries through a long, persistent finish, giving the wine both immediate appeal and the structure to develop with time.
The fruit was harvested by hand across three picks into small picking bins to preserve whole berries. After hand-sorting and full destemming, berries underwent a 4–5 day cold maceration, fermented with ambient yeast, and were hand-punched during fermentation. The wine was transferred to 100% French oak barrels (20% new) and aged in cold cellar for 11 months before a light filtration at bottling.

The 2024 season progressed at an even pace, without prolonged periods of extreme heat. As harvest approached, cooler September days and nights slowed ripening and gave us time to pick each block when it was ready.
That long, measured growing season preserved freshness while allowing the fruit to develop fully, giving the 2024 wines balance, clarity, and structure.
