Vineyard Character: This beautiful wine blends a selection of fruit from small, family-owned vineyard sites from Sonoma Coast, Green Valley, Sonoma Valley and Russian River Valley. Some of Sonoma’s most distinguished viticulturists and vineyard owners provide fruit for this complex blend, including the Dutton Brothers, the Martinelli family, Charlie Chenoweth and Steve Hill.
Tasting Notes: The 2007 growing season was a top-notch vintage, with a cool summer and slow, even ripening. Reflecting its Sonoma Coast origins and near-perfect growing conditions, the 2007 SONOMA COAST PINOT NOIR offers a beautiful expression of the varietal, with bright red fruit aromatics of cranberry and pomegranate, accentuated by seductive layers of Chambord, butter and cinnamon spice. Crisp, structured and with a lifted, mouthwatering finish, this wine seamlessly balances pure cranberry and cherry notes with classic acidity.
Winemaking: 100% Pinot Noir fruit; Multi-yeast fermentations (wild & cultured); 100% malo-lactic fermentation in barrel; 45% new Burgundian French oak barrels; Bottled without fining or filtration
