2017 Charlie's Pommard Block Pinot Noir
Charlie’s Vineyard is a very special place - the first vineyard we worked with to produce J. Christopher's inaugural vintage in 1996 and the only wine we produced for the first three years.
Right in the heart of Dundee on Worden Hill Road, this vineyard produces a wine with an earthy depth, and aromatic charm. These three barrels are specifically from the Pommard Block of the vineyard.

Spirited and well-built, with expressive cherry and hibiscus aroma that open to lively pomegranate and spiced tea flavors, finishing with polished tannins. Drink now through 2024.—T.F. .

Limpid ruby-red. Displays assertive aromas of black raspberry, cherry, baking spices, savory herbs and fresh flowers. Silky, sweet and incisive on the palate, offering musky dark fruit and floral pastille flavors complemented by spicecake, earth and smoky mineral flourishes. Smooth and floral on the persistent finish, which is given shape by finely woven tannins. (all de-stemmed fruit and 25% new French oak)
