Overview
Pinot Noir has been grown in the famous Burgundy region of France, for hundreds of years. The Russian River Valley is uniquely suited to this challenging yet rewarding grape. The cool climate and evening fog allow for an extended growing season and the opportunity for Pinot Noir to reach its full flavor potential. This Pinot Noir is truly Burgundian in style with an elusive aroma of violets, raspberries and strawberries and a light, nicely acidic balance. Pinot Noir is widely considered to produce some of the finest wines in the world.
Aging
10 months in 100% French Oak, 40% new. The barrels are specially created in Burgundy for the Pinot Noir grape and are slightly toasted.
Fermentation
12 days average primary fermentation with hand punch downs several times per day. Malolactic fermentation was performed in barrels, and the wine was aged on its lees until racked for bottling.
