2017 Ruby Brut
Formerly Black Brut
Ruby Brut is an evolution of our Brut Rosé and Black Brut sparkling wine programs, looking to extract the color and texture from the skins while still maintaining elegance and purity from a more traditionally ripe sparkling fruit profile. This block of old-vine Knudsen Vineyard Pinot Noir, planted in 1987, provides fresh, floral, red fruits and generous density, while the finish is long, spicy, and pure. The grapes were chilled overnight, destemmed, and allowed to soak cold on their skins for 14 days before being gently pressed, fermented, and aged in neutral French oak barrels.
