Ribbon Ridge

2021 Estate Reserve Pinot Noir Clone 777

The 2021 Utopia Estate Reserve Pinot Noir Dijon Clone 777 showcases the remarkable depth, concentration, and elegance of Ribbon Ridge terroir. Crafted using 100% whole-cluster fermentation and aged for 16 months in a thoughtful blend of new and neutral French oak, this limited-production Pinot Noir reveals aromas of Bing cherry, blackberry, rose petal, black tea, and exotic spice. Rich layers of dark fruit are supported by vibrant acidity and refined tannins, while subtle oak influences add notes of vanilla, cedar, and baking spice. Complex, age-worthy, and distinctly expressive, this reserve bottling highlights the exceptional affinity of Clone 777 for whole-cluster winemaking.

Delicate aromas are supported by luscious red cherry accented with subtler notes of allspice and earth. Featuring soft tannins with flavors of dark fruit and earthy forest floor. A rich, seamless and dark intensity defines the palate, while the whole cluster fermentation leads to a long and structured finish.
