Drake Whitcraft is a Burgundy lover's dream of a California winemaker, and his Pence Ranch, Clone 115 Pinot Noir is a superb introduction to his hands-off, low-tech approach. The wine is fermented 100% whole cluster, with no fining, filtration or pumping employed (in fact, his winery has no destemmer or electricity for pumps!). Minimal sulfur is used, so be ready to get this Dijon clone Pinot into a good decanter...then enjoy the fireworks! There's a reason Whitcraft's wines are in such high demand- other than the minuscule amounts produced- and one sip of this gem will demonstrate why.
