The 2006 rho consists of the top 20% of our estate pinot noir for the vintage. the final blend consisted of 50% new oak and barreled aged for 2 years. the nose of brown sugar, sarsparilla, and bing cherries on this garnet hued beauty captivate at first scent. offering a pleasing pallet of cinnamon infused molé , dark berries and bing cherries. the 2006 rho is lush, fruit driven and the big, long tannin structure will aid beautifully in aging.

Winemaker Notes

What is this greek thing? Rebecca and Peter love greece. they were married there and visit every year! ampelos is the greek word for the vine – this is where it all begins. each of our estate wines are given a greek letter as a name. “Ρ“ is a correlation coefficient – each year we will make different blends of clones to optimize this wine.
