Overview: "Marcile Lorraine" is named for co-founder Craig Broadley’s mother & is produced each year from the same distinctive block of old vine Pinot Noir, (Pommard & Dijon clone). The Marcile Lorraine is known for its amazing age ability, elegant length, and lovely notes of Raspberry. 30% Whole cluster fermentation. Wild yeast fermentation. Split into open top French oak fermenters spending 14-21 days, two punch downs a day. Aged in 20% New French Oak and balance in neutral French Oak barrels for 11 months. 96 Cases produced.
Tasting Notes: This opens with sharp, edgy flavors melding raspberry and cherry fruit to darker, toasty streaks. They bring a wash of coffee grounds and smoke wood into the mix as the palate opens up and fills out with a further burst of blackcherry fruit backed with juicy citrus. The wine rolls into a finish with that charred wood note beautifully integrated and providing much pleasure rather than distracting from the core of ripe fruit.
