The lighter, more tensile side of Pinot Noir, Spierhead’s 2014 Cuvée is aged in French oak and is made up of 35% Dijon 115, 25% Dijon 667, 25% Dijon 828, and 15% Pommard. Brambly forest berries, cranberries, mint, and bark are suspended in dust kicked up from a summer windstorm. It’s very clean on the palate—red berries, pomegranate, that crunchy sort of acidity that lends a degree of tartness, spriteliness. 13.4% ABV
