Pinot Noir Santa Cruz Mountains

Pinot Noir Santa Cruz Mountains Wine Details
Price: $35.00 per bottle

Description: This wine combines Pinot Noir from our Estate vineyard with that of four small vineyards in our rugged Santa Cruz Mountains. These sites benefit from the cooling influences of the Pacific Ocean extending our growing season, allowing Pinot Noir to achieve mature flavors without becoming overripe. Our Estate vineyard lends structure and a dense core of cherry fruit, while the grapes from Split Rail, Branciforte Creek, Kent Berry, and R Bar R Ranch add complixity. Fifteen months in French Oak has brought harmony to the blend, adding subtle toast, nutmeg, and vanilla to the finish. The interplay of fruit and spice flavors will pair nicely with foods ranging from simple grilled salmon to more exotic dishes, such as roast pork.
