After planting 14 acres later that summer, we vinifed our first vintage in 2004 under the Aston Experimental label. As the years passed and the partnership evolved, the one thing that never changed was my commitment to the Aston Estate project. In the beginning, the style was a bit bigger reflecting what was currently happening on the coast, the unpredictability of the weather, younger vine characteristics and the logistics of hauling the fruit out of this remote site. With better access to the site, more vineyard activity in the area and older vines, it has become easier to take the quality of the fruit to exactly where we want it out at the Estate. There have been a few turning points out here in terms of wine quality. After tasting every single wine we’ve made from the estate a couple months ago, it was clear 2009 and 2015 ushered in new eras of quality. We think we may see the same thing with 2017 which will be offered later this summer. Earlier this year, I was offered the chance to own Aston outright. I knew immediately there was no way I could let this get away. After investing 20 years of effort into this now mature 14 acre plot of Pinot Noir, I’m proud to announce this will be part of the growing winemaking family for years to come.\u003cbr\u003e","published_at":"2023-01-30T13:35:40-05:00","created_at":"2023-01-25T12:59:53-05:00","vendor":"CaskCartel.com","type":"Wine","tags":["Country_United States","NK2501","Other_Wine","Producer_Aston Estate","Region_California","Source_Hedonism0123","Type_Red Wine","Varietal_Pinot Noir"],"price":39999,"price_min":39999,"price_max":39999,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":42716022309002,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":false,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"2018 | Aston Estate | Pinot Noir","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":39999,"weight":12247,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":"","requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[],"quantity_rule":{"min":1,"max":null,"increment":1}}],"images":["\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/48_0ddbb80c-66eb-41ec-b5c7-a33f6833f322.jpg?v=1674669636"],"featured_image":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/48_0ddbb80c-66eb-41ec-b5c7-a33f6833f322.jpg?v=1674669636","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":"2018 | Aston Estate | Pinot Noir at CaskCartel.com","id":24060569944202,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.6,"height":1000,"width":600,"src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/48_0ddbb80c-66eb-41ec-b5c7-a33f6833f322.jpg?v=1674669636"},"aspect_ratio":0.6,"height":1000,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/48_0ddbb80c-66eb-41ec-b5c7-a33f6833f322.jpg?v=1674669636","width":600}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003ch2\u003eRed Wine: 2018 | Aston Estate | Pinot Noir\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe wine displays a red-purple hue in the glass.
