The Vintage
The growing season in 2007 was wonderful. The mild summer weather with no extreme temperature shifts in the Carneros District made for ideal growing conditions. The delicate balance of flavors and acidity developed beautifully through the summer. The fruit was harvested from September 6th to November 2nd from the Las Brisas Vineyard and the Sangiacomo Vineyard.
Winemaking
There were five different Pinot Noir clones from two vineyards in 2007. Each clonal lot was harvested separately and open bin fermented.
Tasting Notes
This Pinot Noir is beautifully balanced displaying aromas and flavors of black cherry, strawberry, allspice and toasty oak. It is supple, clean and smooth with a well balanced and savory crème brulee finish. Enjoyable now and for several years to come.
