Where the "One One Five" is all lift and lightness, the "Six Six Seven" is its quieter, more brooding sibling. Same vineyard — Morning Mist out in Sheridan — but a different Dijon clone planted at the same 700 feet. The 667 gives us a touch more fruit weight and a darker red-fruit profile, and it's the clone that always tastes the most like the place to me.
We treated it like every Pinot we make: 45 days whole-cluster on the skins, native yeast, foot-plunged twice daily, then eighteen months sleeping in neutral French oak so the wine does its own work. Minimal sulfur. No fining. No filtration.
Single-vineyard, single-clone, single-bottling. Don't overthink it.
Tasting Notes
Medium ruby with bright clarity. Red cherry, raspberry, subtle spice, and earthy undertones on the nose. Silky texture, vibrant acidity, soft tannins, with strawberry, cranberry, and a hint of forest floor on the palate.
Pairing & Serving
Roasted chicken, grilled salmon, mushroom risotto, lightly spiced pork. Serve slightly chilled (55–60°F).
