Description:
The old section of our Pinot Noir Vineyard is now 25 years old. The new section of the vineyard is in its seventh year of production and adds the flavors of new and interesting clones to the mix of fruit. Tasting notes include: Very rich-with intense, deep dark flavors. This forward, slightly jammy wine has hints of cedar and a lingering finish. With deep rich color and full body, it is a concentrated and complex wine. Let this wine breathe for full enjoyment.
The grapes are from our own vineyard. Located on a hillside five miles from the Ocean, these grapes receive great sun, hot days, and cool nights. Our vineyard has been certified organic by California Certified Organic Farmers since 1980. Permanent cover crop, integrated pest management, and organic fertilizers, when needed, help to produce fruit bursting with flavor.
Our Pinot Noir vines produced four tons in 2004 - about a ton and a quarter to the acre. The grapes were harvested on September 3 at 25.5 brix. The grapes were crushed into open top tanks and allowed to ferment for 17 days until dry. The wine was innoculated with MCW for malolactic fermentation and aged in a mix of new to three year old American oak for twelve months.
