Ancillary 2013 Pinot Noir

The Ancillary 2013 Sun Chase Vineyard Pinot Noir was produced from a high elevation (900-1,400 feet), rock-laden vineyard in the Petaluma Gap of the Sonoma Coast. Just the second vintage released from Ancillary, this 2013 Pinot Noir is an outstanding achievement, exhibiting tremendous depth and very expressive flavors. Ruby in color, the nose explodes with red and dark fruits along with earthy spice notes, raspberry, and a touch of minerality. The palate is amazingly lush with nice tannin structure and distinctive, vibrant flavors of dark fruit.
