MGM 1.5 L 2015 Björnson Art Pinot Noir
The 2015 Vintage was characterized by early budbreak, early bloom, and plenty of sunshine. Fortunately, the weather cooled in September, allowing the fruit "extra hang time" to achieve phenological ripeness.
Rustic in spirit, this barrel selection employs rich dark berry notes alongside tobacco , cinnamon, orange peel, and vanilla. This wine is rugged, yet refined and pairs perfectly with steak or lamb.
This barrel selection honors Mark's grandfather William Arthur (Art) Hunter, who tenaciously worked his North Dakota farm through the drought of the 1930's. His thrift, hard work and partnership with his wife, Isabel, enabled them to send two children to college during the Great Depression.
