La Rinconada Pinot Noir

La Rinconada Pinot Noir Wine Details
Price: $40.00 per bottle

Description: Planted in 1997, La Rinconada Vineyard is adjacent to the old Sanford & Benedict Vineyard and shares its soil and climate. The main difference here is the clonal selection. The Rinconada is made from Dijon clones 777, 667 and 115 for an expansive richness rarely found in Pinot Noir. This wine has been lauded as one of the finest Pinot Noirs available. From our new vineyard planted to Dijon clones, the wine is dark plum, dark cherry fruit with deep chocolately nuances, lush, viscous, opulent; aged in 100% new French oak 20 months. A dense, goes-on-forever finish complements meat and game dishes, rich enough for prime rib of beef.
