2018 Pinot Noir Clone POM Reserve

Our Clone Series was created to highlight the different nuances that each Pinot Noir clone exhibits. What do we mean by “clone”? Grapevines in general, and Pinot Noir vines in particular, are genetically unstable and can mutate slightly over time. Each grape variety is actually made up of many subtypes, called clones. These clones can result in different flavors, intensity, color, etc. At Scheid Vineyards, we grow 20 different clones of Pinot Noir. Pommard is one of the Dijon clones and is known for earthy, fruit forward characteristics, as well as structure and density. A dramatic and vibrant wine, our Scheid Vineyards Clone POM has aromas of black cherry, currants and raspberry with notes of hazelnut, vanilla and toasty oak. It is a classic Pinot Noir, medium-bodied with soft tannins, balanced acidity, and a lingering, smooth red fruit finish.
