Sean W McBride 'Jewel of Skyland' Pinot Noir 2018

About the Wine: The Jewel of Skyland is a one-acre multi-clonal vineyard of Pinot Noir on a Northeast slope off Skyland Road in the Santa Cruz Mountains. The 2018 vintage was fermented on native yeasts, with 50% whole clusters, and was pressed entirely by hand in our old hand-crank press. The wine completed malolactic fermentation naturally in barrel, and aged twelve months in French oak barrels, 25% new. We performed one racking to stainless steel one month prior to bottling, unfined and unfiltered. Four and a half barrels; 108 cases produced.

Varietal: Pinot Noir.
