Anderson Valley Pinot Noir

Anderson Valley Pinot Noir Wine Details
Price: $22.00 per bottle

Description: he fruit for this wine came from two vineyards near Boonville in Anderson Valley. 78% is from the Ferrington Vineyard, which is Dijon clone 115. 22% is from the Langley Vineyard which is Martini clone. The grapes were de-stemmed and fermented using three commercial yeasts and natural yeast equally divided among the small, one ton fermentors. The wine was aged in French and Hungarian oak, 40% of which was new, for 18 months before bottling in May, 2001. Cola and red fruit dominate the nose. Rich flavors of raspberry, pomegranate and chocolate are just beginning to emerge from behind the vanilla and oak from the new barrels, promising a powerful but smooth wine for years to come.
