Gary Farrell Hallberg Vineyard Pinot Noir · 2021
Layered and expressive, this single-vineyard Pinot Noir pairs dark fruit with savory detail. Cassis, sweet tobacco and cherry blossom lead into bramble berries, black tea, tamarind and blood orange. Coriander and caraway add complexity, while firm, silky tannins and crisp acidity shape a long, velvety finish.

Gary Farrell Hallberg Vineyard Pinot Noir · 2021
Layered and expressive, this single-vineyard Pinot Noir pairs dark fruit with savory detail. Cassis, sweet tobacco and cherry blossom lead into bramble berries, black tea, tamarind and blood orange. Coriander and caraway add complexity, while firm, silky tannins and crisp acidity shape a long, velvety finish.
Hallberg Vineyard is a dry-farmed site in the cool Green Valley area of the Russian River Valley, influenced by ocean breezes and cool nights. Dijon clones 667 and 777 bring together dark fruit, floral aromatics, earthy depth and spice. Moderate conditions in 2021 encouraged even ripening. Hand-sorted fruit, a small whole-cluster portion, cold soak and extended maceration built complexity; fifteen months on primary lees in French oak, 40% new, rounded out the texture.
