2010 Carneros Pinot Noir
Vineyard
This complex Pinot Noir is truly representative of Carneros, sourced from our vineyards in the western, middle and eastern sides of the appellation, in both Sonoma and Napa Counties. Our vines reside on a wealth of varying topography of hills and valleys with well-drained soils. Historic Stanly Ranch gives ripe cherry flavors; Diamond Creek lends a full and fleshy structure; Rodgers Creek provides exotic, brooding dark fruit and minerality.
Vintage
Despite a late vintage, earlier-ripening Pinot Noir was not impacted by rain. We were able to bring the fruit in at the perfect moment, the first step in making a wine that clearly speaks of place and vintage. The grapes arrived ripe and bursting with lush flavor and tangy acidity.
Tasting Notes
Aromas of ripe strawberries, violets, rose petals, vanilla bean and spicy bay rum jump from the glass. A silky entry carries bright red cherry flavors, hazelnut and cedar, while scents of coffee, cocoa and sweet oak show on a fragrant finish.
Alcohol, 13.77%; pH, 3.67; total acidity, 5.7 g/L; 9,987 cases produced. |
