2008 Bill's Blend Pinot Noir
This 100% Pinot Noir was blended from several blocks within the vineyard. The grapes were hand picked and the wine produced using traditional winemaking techniques. This 2008 vintage spent 10 months in French oak barrels to produce a robust, yet soft and approachable Pinot Noir to complement special celebrations.
