Sonoma Coast Four Sisters Pinot Noir

Sonoma Coast Four Sisters Pinot Noir Wine Details
Price:

Description: Our Pinot Noir is produced from fruit grown on our Sonoma Coast Four Sisters Vineyard located a few miles west of Sonoma Valley. The wine is 100% varietal. Previous vintages were sold to a number of top Pinot Noir producers, including David Bruce and Williams Selyem. Very high quality French burgundy clones 777, 115, Pommard, and Swan are grown in this vineyard. By maintaining low yields - about 2 1/2 to 3 tons per acre - this vineyard produces intensely flavored fruit. During crush, free-run juice is placed in stainless steel tanks for primary fermentation. After fermentation, the wines receive 6 months of French oak aging, creating a wine that is more complex with wonderful upfront blackberry taste and a delicious, rich, long finish. Wine maker tasting notes: Beautiful dark ruby color. Blackberry with hints of clove and cinnamon. Great forward fruit and very soft tannins make this beautifully balanced wine very accessible. Food suggestions: chicken, beef, lamb, veal, pasta, and duck.
