Pinot Noir Estate Santa Cruz Mountains

Pinot Noir Estate Santa Cruz Mountains Wine Details
Price: $55.00 per bottle

Description: This wine comes from our Estate vineyard in the rugged mountains above Monterey Bay, and is the flagship of our Pinot Noirs. Our Estate wines are handled gently at all times, seldom pumped, and never fined or filtered, to maximize flavor and texture in the bottle. The 2000 vintage gave us wines with cherry fruit flavors from the Estate. Our lean, sandstone soils and 2100-foot elevation give a spicy mineral quality to the wine as well. Eighteen months in Burgundian coopered French Oak added subtle toast and smoke notes while softening and integrating the palate. This wine should reward aging for up to a decade in a proper cellar.
