What to Expect

California has long struggled with Pinot Noir. Finding the right vineyards for this most fickle of grape, one that enjoys a cool growing season yet needs warmth close to harvest to fully ripen, has proven a challenge in such a sunny state. Cooler areas eventually became identified; the Santa Rita Hills, Russian River Valley and Mendocino's Anderson valley are all prime spots for Pinot Noir in California. Unlike the lighter colored and sometimes delicate Pinots of Burgundy, California produces many rich, deep Pinots full of slightly chewy dark berry and cherry fruits with hints of cola, Asian spices and forest floor frequently adding complexity.

The 2005 Stanly Ranch Pinot Noir features aromas of ripe strawberry and rhubarb with hints of rosewater, vanilla and camomille tea, as lush red berries flavors mingle with notes of ruby grapefruit, smokeand pepper. This wine is supported by finely integrated tannins and a bright acid backbone, leading intoa long, juicy finish. - Winemaker, Laurie Hook Beringer has hit pay dirt with this wine, arealistically priced Pinot offering attractive dried herb, forest floor, berry fruit,and floral notes along with a medium body, good tannin, and a solid, chewytexture.
