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.

Wine Tasting NotesThe nose has intense black and red cherry aromas, with cranberry, blackberry and plum notes. On the palate, the influence of smoky and charry oak combines with a hint of rhubarb and licorice and unfolds as a tight and seamless, powerful yet elegant wine with long finish.
