Santa Cruz Mountains Pinot Noir

Santa Cruz Mountains Pinot Noir Wine Details
Price: $20.00 per bottle

Description: There are three clones of Pinot Noir planted at the Bargetto Regan Vineyard Estate in the Santa Cruz Mountains: Dijon, Pommard and Martini. This wine is a blend of all three clones. It was a difficult year for Pinot Noir at the Regan Vineyard, and because of this tonnage was low, but the fruit was richer in flavor and color. Pommard, which is the largest constituent at 40%, brings the high notes of perfume to the wine. The wine exhibits flavors of dark cherry, oak and blackberry. This wine has an intensity of color which is unusual for Pinot Noir as Pinot's have a tendency to be lighter in color than most other red wines. There is a firm structure of soft tannins which will give this wine aging potential.
