Highly Recommended - California Grapevine Dec. 2007 - Jan. 2008
Gold Medal - Tasters Guild
Gold Medal - Hilton Head Island Wine Competition
This vintage marks an important milestone for ZD Pinot Noir, with 100% of the fruit coming exclusively from Jim Haire’s organically certified vineyard in the Carneros region of Napa Valley. Jim, a longtime ZD Pinot Noir grower decided (with gentle prodding!) to begin farming our two blocks organically in 2002. Both blocks are planted to the highly regarded Dijon clones, the smaller 13 acre block to clone 667 and the remaining 16 acres to clones 777, 115 and Pommard. In keeping with our motto, Quality, Consistency & Style, our winemaking approach remains the same. We gently de-stem the fruit and ferment it in small open top fermentors. Hand punchdowns of the cap every 6 hours during fermentation ensures a gentle extraction of color and tannins, and 10 months of rest in 100% French Oak barrels create a wine with depth, balance and elegance. Dark ruby in color, with aromas of ripe cherries, plum and rhubarb, this wine is classic Carneros Pinot Noir. Hints of cedar, vanilla and toasted nuts lead into a full, rich palate of flavors and silky tannins. Enjoy!!!
