Alyce was my Mom and she was the life of the party.
There is a section of vineyard right in the middle of the North slope where the soils are very heavy adobe clay resulting in the vines struggling to produce a crop more than 1 ton to the acre. It is a field blend of clone 777 and 115. This minimal crop yield tends to produce wines that are big, rich, "over the top" flavors; perfect for "Alyce"
Vinous
- v88
The 2020 Pinot Noir Cuvee Alyce is a boisterous, explosive wine. There's good depth and plenty of intensity, which helps hide some of the gamier flavors and angular contours that lurk beneath.
