Santa Cruz Mountains Pinot Noir

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

Description: Our first release of Estate Pinot Noir is sure to be a smashing success. We have carefully selected barrels from our two Estate Vineyards (the extremely cool and wind-swept Sky vineyard at 2000 ft. elevation, and our infamous Rapley Trail vineyard) to produce this beautifully balanced and perfumed Pinot Noir. Yields in 2003 were quite low, under 2 tons/acre, providing perfect material for concentrated yet elegant cool-climate Pinot Noir. This wine begins with a beguiling nose of red cherries, forest floor and wood smoke. In the mouth the texture steals the show, silky yet rich and mouth-filling. A long finish is accentuated by the mouth watering acidity and soft, plush tannins. This wine will be ideal for consumption over the next four years.
