Our clonal selection Pinot Noirs are made with the intent of isolating some of the very best individual lots in our cellar and capturing the nuances that each specific clone offers. This has remained a very small project - approximately six barrels of each wine - and delivers some of our finest expressions of Pinot Noir.

The 2017 Pinot Noir Clone 115, from Q Block in Ashley's, is pliant, open-knit and inviting, with lovely succulence and impeccable balance. The focus on a single clone is intriguing, but also results in a slightly more monotone wine relative to some of the other Pinots in the range. Bright red/purplish berry fruit, sweet spice and vanillin linger in this gorgeous Pinot from Fess Parker.

The 2017 Pinot Noir Clone 115 offers a more complex bouquet of spiced red and black fruits, incense, candied orange peel, and forest floor. Ripe and medium-bodied, it has plenty of sweet fruit as well as enough underlying acidity and tannins to keep it drinking nicely for 6-7 years.

This clonal study shows focused black-plum and raspberry aromas alongside rose petal. The palate is quite full, with pomegranate, plum and lively mint flavors, proving both tangy and herbal.
