Tucked against a grove of redwoods, it is one of the more 'cool climate' vineyards in all of Russian River. Only eight and a half miles from the coast, Bella Luna's complex gold ridge soils and consistent slope produce grapes that ripen slowly and evenly. It is planted to pinot noir clones 115, 667 and 777. In 2006, the vineyard was farmed using high level sustainable farming practices and is now in-transition to official Demeter Biodynamic® certification.</div> NATURE: Bella Luna has clear marine influences. The 2007 vintage brought in soft fogs from the Coast that brushed across Bella Luna on their way to rest in the Russian River Valley. This kept temperatures mild, a good 7-8° F cooler in the summer than in inland locations and helped guard against the erratic temperature swings and hot spells that can affect more easterly Russian River locations. There is also little variance in temperature from day to night at Bella Luna. This allows acidity to develop gradually and consistently in the grapes throughout the night hours - making for complex and well developed grapes at harvest <div aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0">MAN: We handled this wine with great tenderness and care and a minimum of intervention.  Grapes were hand harvested at night to keep the sugars in tact and the fruit fresh. Minimizing any bruising that can come with too much movement of the juice, the juice was fermented in small, open-top stainless steel fermentors with indigenous yeasts. Native yeast fermentation gives this wine an extra layer of complexity. While it is nerve wracking to depend entirely upon native yeasts, the seamlessness of the wine is well worth the risk. It underwent concurrent spontaneous malolactic fermentation in barrels over a four month period, and was then barrel aged for 11 months in French Oak.   TASTING NOTES: Typical of a cool climate pinot, this wine is marked by a balance of bright fruit and a firm backbone. A luscious, substantial Pinot Noir, the wine has intense red fruit character with spice and earthy tones at the end. Soft, chalky tannins combine with smooth acidity to create a weighty mouthfeel that lingers on your palate. Our Signaterra Pinot Noir is unadulterated and pure in essence, like a symphony, no a one note samba. Alcohol 14.1% by volume. </div> To learn more about the Signaterra brand, please visit us at : <a aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0" href="http://www.signaterra.com/">www.signaterra.com</a> <LI>SKU: 382007 Other products in the category <A HREF="http://www.nexternal.com/benziger/Category57" TITLE="Signaterra Benziger">Signaterra Benziger</A>: <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/benziger/Product832 TITLE="2006 Signaterra 3-Blocks, Bordeaux Blend">2006 Signaterra 3-Blocks, Bordeaux Blend</A> -- 2006 Signaterra 3-Blocks, Bordeaux Blend <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/benziger/Product873 TITLE="2008 Benziger 'Casey's Block' Sauvignon Blanc, Mendocino County (750ml)">2008 Benziger 'Casey's Block' Sauvignon Blanc, Mendocino County (750ml)</A> -- In 2008, floral aromas introduce the wine while; the crisp structure is poised against flavors of green apple, white peach, grapefruit and lime.
