Its soft, elegant structure and natural, well balanced acidity makes this a perfect food-friendly wine from a premier California vineyard. <br /><br />2006 was a good year for Pinot Noir. The growing season was one of the longest in recent memory. An unusually warm winter created a very early budbreak and therefore an early start for the vines. Spring rains and mild summer temperatures slowed the vine growth and ripening period and resulted in beautifully &#64258;avored grapes. Very low yields ensured full ripening which brought depth of color and bright fruit characters to the &#64257;nished wine. <br /><br /></font></font></span><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;"><font face="'trebuchet ms'"><font color="#001001">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.
