SummaryCustomer Reviews

Our 2005 Foggy Bridge Classic Pinot Noir represents Santa Maria Pinot at its best. The color is rich and dark, re?ecting the excellent ripening conditions of that year’s harvest. The nose is quite complex displaying aromas of bright strawberry and cherry with slight forest ?oor characteristics. Its ?eshy blackberry and strawberry ?avors are well integrated with French oak aging to create a rich, full bodied wine of excellent structure and depth.

2005 was an excellent year for Pinot Noir throughout California and Santa Maria was no exception. The season started with a cool wet spring which gave the vines a very healthy start. Vintage conditions mostly remained cool throughout the growing season, giving the fruit plenty of hang time and allowing the winemakers to pick at optimum ripeness. An original Spanish land grant from the 1830s, the Bien Nacido Vineyard (which translates as 'well born') has become one of the most well-known vineyards in California's Central Coast. Planted primarily to Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Syrah and Merlot, it is the source for some of California's most distinguished wines. It is classified as a maritime-influenced desert, with morning fog cover and afternoon breezes from the nearby Pacific Ocean. The soils consist of sand, chalk and marine loam that provide good drainage, and the climate provides even temperatures with very little rainfall. For more information about the origin of this vineyard, visit our blog.
