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.

Winemakers Notes

This is the ultimate food wine with its combination of beautiful aromas, flavors of berries and dark cherries coupled with a pleasant mouthfeel. The grapes were estate grown on our home ranch in Redwood Valley, California, and the cool climate required to grow pinot noir is exemplified in the flavors of this exquisite wine. Enjoy, and join many of our wine aficionados in proclaiming "Yum!" when you drink it. October 3, 2007: "Highly Recommended" from World Wine Championship judges/Chicago, IL
Sugar: 23.2 Brix

It turns out I overpaid for this wine at the wine shop down the street but it was worth it. This is a great find. It is light and fruity and I like that it is organic. I drank it alone but I assume it would be good with just about any kind of food as well.
