Olive Tree Hill Pinot Noir 2024

Olive Tree Hill is made from own-rooted MV6 Pinot Noir planted in 1976. As the oldest Pinot Noir vines on the property, this block consistently produces low yields of small, concentrated berries. For almost fifty years, it has delivered Pinot Noir of depth, structure, and now, serious old-vine power.

The fruit was handpicked, completely destemmed, and fermented on skins for 10 days before pressing to French oak hogshead barrels, 40% of which were new. The wine was left undisturbed, went through malolactic fermentation in spring, and was blended and bottled in February.

Olive Tree Hill is generous and grounded, showing both the depth of old vines and the concentration of the site. Red and dark fruits sit at the core, with more than a hint of spice and forest floor. The palate is full and rounded, with depth, structure and a calm, settled power. A classic old-vine expression that is confident and complete.
