With fall foliage offering a breathtaking backdrop, alumni, fans and friends enjoy this quaint setting as a part of their journey to Kidd Brewer Stadium. A landmark on campus since 1927, Appalachian’s Duck Pond has served as a gathering place for students and alumni while creating the perfect habitat for our feathery friends.
We introduce you to Duck Pond. Our Pinot Noir from Santa Barbara County experiences a lengthy and cool growing season that is similar to the climate of the Burgundy region of east-central France. Unlike Burgundy, our Pinot Noir experiences dense fog that rolls in off the Pacific Ocean; this fog contributes to the ideal climate for Pinot Noir, offering just enough moisture to be beneficial without lingering too long.
Duck Pond has aromas of cherries, raspberries, blackberries and brown sugar with notes of baking spices. On the palate, the wine opens with bright, fruit flavors of strawberries, leading to a round mouthfeel on the mid-palate and soft, velvety tannins on a long, elegant finish.
