COMMENT
Maggie Hawk Vineyards produces four unique Pinot Noir wines in Mendocino's Anderson Valley: the refined "Jolly", the deep "Afleet", the mighty "Stormin'" and the elegant yet powerful "Unforgettable". Just 16 miles from the Pacific Ocean, the cool vineyard has the perfect combination of clones (Pommard, 2A, 113, 115, 667, 777), soils (Bearwallow & Wolfey), and slope to create great wines. The vineyard is 58 acres in size. The vineyard became a family-owned business in 1994 under the name Jackson Family Wines.
WINEMAKING
The 2018 vintage was harvested and vinified on a parcel-by-parcel basis to express its unique qualities. After 5 days of maceration, the wine was fermented in a 3-ton fermentation tank, pumping over twice a day. Aged 15 months in French oak (43% new). Unfined and unfiltered.
