HEART & HANDS PINOT NOIR RESERVE SINGLE VINEYARD – PAUL’S LEGACY

Hobbit Hollow Vineyard is located on the west side of Skaneateles Lake, directly on the lakeshore. The vineyard’s high altitude and northern location means slightly cooler summer temperatures. This wine is a tribute to the late Paul Wellington, the former Hobbit Hollow vineyard manager who planted the vineyard in 1998, and nurtured the vines in subsequent years. Pinot Noir can only evolve into a beautiful wine with proper care and devotion in the vineyard and Paul was the perfect steward for this grape. While 2012 was Paul’s final vintage, his gentle spirit and peerless commitment continue to speak through the vines and carry forth his legacy in the resulting wines.
