2017 Richard Hermann Cuvée - Pinot Noir 1.5L
Produced from an Eola-Amity Hills Vineyard that is so famous we couldn't use it on the label, we decided to name this single vineyard Pinot Noir after our founder Chris Hermann's father Richard. Dr. Richard Hermann was a world-renowned plant geneticist specializing in the Douglas Fir tree. Thanks to his blessing, 00 Wines was founded in 2015, when Dr. Hermann was 91 years old.
19 cases (of 6 Magnums per case) produced.

Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
Deep and mysterious with hints of smooth fresh coffee fruit cherries and a velvety, long finish, this wine has satisfying, mouthwatering mineral undertones.
Production Notes
We hand-snip the single whole berries off each tightly packed Pinot Noir cluster and ferment in 500L Tuscan terracotta amphorae. Élevage in 20% new French oak for 16 months before bottling.
Winemaker Notes
Fermentation in clay amphorae softens the tannins without sacrificing structure. Whole berry fermentation imparts an elegance and lift in the mouthfeel.
