"The "Forte" label is a smaller bottling of "the most expressive" wines from the Fiddlestix Vineyard. It also gets another couple of months of aging—14 months total in French oak, 25% new. Medium ruby-purple in color, the 2018 Pinot Noir Forte-Fiddlestix Vineyard has a beautiful earthiness on the nose, featuring notes of moss-covered tree bark, fertile loam and black truffles over a core of Morello cherries, mulberries and black raspberries. The medium to full-bodied palate offers a plush texture and oodles of freshness to support the delicate red and black berry layers, finishing long with impressive poise. 407 cases were made."
