Notes from Avalon Wine:

2019 represents Kathy’s inaugural Pinot noir vintage for her Filigree & Stone label. Much like the Filigree & Stone name, which fuses contrasting elements of intricate elegance with earthen groundedness, Kathy’s life and personality has always been about balance. So naturally, her 2019 Sojeau Vineyard Pinot noir represents her eternal quest for balance–it is pretty and complex and elegant while holding to a latticework of structure and strength and power. 

While Kathy and Walter Scott winemaker Ken Pahlow might be two peas in a pod, their 2019 Sojeau Pinots show fairly differently. It begins with the clonal selection: Kathy’s is Pommard-heavy, Ken’s is equal parts Pommard, Wadenswil, and Dijon 115.
