Vineyard Notes
The depth of flavor present in our Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir is indicative of the long growing season for which this viticulture area is famous. The fruit from this vintage was sourced from vineyards in various microclimates. The grapes from areas above the fogline deliver rich, concentrated fruit character, while those sourced from the cooler regions of the Sonoma Coast provide aromas of spice and earth with classic Burgundian elegance.
Winemaking Notes
This fruit was harvested by hand. The fruit came into the winery in
exceptional condition and was hand sorted, de-stemmed, and transferred to
small, one-ton vessels. Gentle extraction occurred before fermentation
began. After primary fermentation, the wine was transferred to French oak barrels for
17 months of aging.
Tasting Notes
Black cherry, anise, and vanilla describe the aromas of this elegant, restrained Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir. The cherry cola and ripe raspberry flavors are carried by the subtle oak undertones and balanced acidity.
