2021 Art Pinot Noir
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.
