Winemaker's Notes
Our Pinot Noir program is a true labor of love program starting from selecting the vineyard sites, fermentation practices and aging program. Such a delicate grape variety requires a lot of love and attention to detail. In this vintage clonal selection was one of the most crucial elements as our reserve Pinot Noir is a highlight of the earthy side of Pinot Noir. This is achieved through focusing on clones that exude earthiness and we marry this with perfect yeast selection to harness and showcase the beautiful balance of earthiness and silky characteristics.

Tasting Notes
A Pinot Noir Reserve of ruby red color with garnet highlights. On the nose you will find ripe red cherries, raspberry, and strawberry, followed by rose petals, dried herbs and a hint of forest floor. At the palate, you will find juicy red fruits like cherry, cranberry, and pomegranate, with secondary flavors of mushroom, damp leaves and a touch of anise.
Special Notes About Region and Varietal
The fruit for this vintage was sourced from the Riverbench Vineyard located in Santa Maria Valley, CA where cool evenings and warm day lead to the optimum ripening of this glorious Pinot Noir fruit and the creation of a lighter bodied wine. The clonal blend of this bottling is 90% 777 & 667 with the final 10% coming from the Pommard clone which results in a very focused earthy expression of the true essence of Pinot Noir. The Santa Maria Valley is south of Napa Valley and their Pinot Noirs rank highly in the Wine Enthusiast.
