Description:
The 2003 vintage was one that demanded patience, which would prove to pay off at harvest, when a late pick yielded promising fruit with well developed flavors and smooth tannins. This is the third vintage of the Los Carneros Pinot Noir that Steve has undertaken. The Corrotto Vineyard where we source the grapes has an excellent reputation for producing some of the best Pinot Noir that the Los Carneros appellation has to offer. The now 11 year old vines are a testament of successful grafting of clone 667 to St. George rootstock. The Los Carneros AVA itself is very unique in that it has a cool microclimate. Marine breezes and low moisture combined with heavy soil naturally foster the full ripening of the bright Pinot Noir flavors. Nestled between Napa and Sonoma, the 36,900 acres that make up the Carneros AVA, are high in clay composition making it excellent soil content.
The Reynolds Family Winery Los Carneros Pinot Noir is crafted in a New World style and has a very up front fruit nose with aromas of fresh raspberries, berry jam and cherry. This wine has an excellent linear mid palate with rich concentrations of fresh blackberry, black cherry, cedar and spice. This is a compelling example of a complex Los Carneros Pinot Noir.
