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

Our 2005 Russian River Pinot Noir is a blend of five vineyards; Cohn, Koplen, Amber Ridge, Ketcham and Castaldi. All of these vineyards lie in the middle to northern Russian River Valley.
The style is deep and rich with a velvety texture that is prominent from start to finish.
We recommend drinking this wine between 2008 and 2013
.
AROMATICS: Fresh cherry, bright raspberry and cranberry with hints of cola nut and spice.

ON THE PALATE: Bright acidity greets the palate, carrying red stone fruit and cherries. The midpalate boasts of creamy raspberry and fresh plum. read more...
