2016 Candide – Library Release
Nemarniki Vineyard ∞ Chehalem Mountains AVA Reserve Pinot Noir
ONLY 48 Bottles Available | $90 Fanfare Club* -or- $100 Non-Member
With only 33 cases produced, the 2016 Candide was offered exclusively to members of Bells Up’s Fanfare Club when it debuted in 2018. So chances are, you don’t have any. Named for Leonard Bernstein’s operetta of the same name (which was based on the 1759 novella by Voltaire), Candide is comprised of two heritage clones of Pinot Noir: 75% Wadenswil and 25% Pommard. The grapes were sourced entirely from Nemarniki Vineyard in the Chehalem Mountains AVA. The 2016 Candide packs a well-rounded mouthfeel with hints of spice that pop like fireworks across the palate.
