Saturday, December 2, 2023 - Winemaker Notes:

"This 2017 version continues Belle Pente's migration toward adding a little whole cluster fermentation to our top wines. This rendition includes around 12% whole bunches, providing more aromatic complexity and slightly more pronounced tannins. As in prior vintages, the clonal mix is heavily weighted toward the Wadensvil selection (58%) with the balance Dijon 777 and 115. Although this is not a shy wine, it shows the restraint and elegance that is the hallmark of the 2017 vintage. Look for dark black fruit flavors and aromas complimented by licorice, dried herbs, and flowers."
