It has been said that Pinot Noir is the “heartbreak grape” and no love-sick swain has been more heartsick than RG in his long-time romance with the ever elusive Pinot. His love-madness has known no proper bounds, even to the point of his planting a small plot of hyper-densely planted (20,000 vines/ha.), ungrafted vines. His enamorment with this grape will wane when the stars fall from the sky. Approximately 1045 750ml. bottles were produced. 13.0% Alc by volume.
