Hangtime Pinot Noir - Arroyo Seco

Hangtime Pinot Noir - Arroyo Seco Wine Details
Price:

Description: The grapes for the 2005 HANGTIME Pinot Noir from Arroyo Seco, Force Canyon Vineyard were on the vine for a minimum of 130 days. Cool evenings and slow, steady ripening produced intense flavors in the grapes. Our wine shows deep layers of black and red fruit with balanced acidity, a result of 100% malolactic fermentation. Tony Coltrin, our Winemaker, chose 100% French oak barrels (33% new) to add spiciness to the finished wine. The cool-climate of Arroyo Seco and careful winemaking resulted in a rich pinot noir with aromas of ripe, organic figs and rose petals, and flavors of black berries and red raspberries. The lingering finish is clear evidence of a long hangtime.
