What to Expect

Pinot Noir: Responsible for some of the greatest wines on earth - the exhausted red wines of France's Burgundy region. Pinot Noir is a notoriously fickle grape that expresses its origins like no other. It's a vine that needs to struggle to produce great wines but when it does the depth of flavors that range from cherry to cola can be explosive and the wines' bright acidity and gentle tannins make them approachable and widely appealing,

Winemakers Notes

Winemaker's Notes:
Gravity is our top blend of three Dijon clones namely 667,777 and 115. The grapes were hand picked from the 1 s t until the 9th of October 2004 at optimal physiologcal ripeness and 21.8 - 24.8 Brix. Using gravity the fruit was crushed into open top 4-ton fermenters where cold soaking took place for 4 to 8 days. Following this, the juice was fermented using commercial and wild yeast strains.

Gravity Pinot Noir is an elegant, complex wine with floral and red currant and cherry fruit on the nose. Well structured, this Pinot Noir has ripe, concentrated fruit and finishes earthy. Hints of spice and earthiness are well balanced by the natural acidity. Soft tannins round out this wine making it drinkable from now until 2010.

This is my defintely one of my favorites! Each time I stop by their vineyard I have to have a glass or two.... I highly recomend this Pinot Noir. Also available on http://www.thecuvee.com
