Wine Details
Price:
$36.00 per bottle
Description:
"The grapes for this wine come from the cool coastal foothills of the Bien Nacido Vineyard, from a gently sloping vineyard block. Yields were maintained quite low (around 1.5 tons per acre) to help promote increased ripeness of tannins and intensity of the wine’s character. The wine is remarkably dark for Pinot Noir, which immediately tempts you in to take a whiff. In the nose you will find raspberries, chocolate, and a wonderful earthy/spiciness that rounds out with a hint of balanced toasty-oak quality from the 20 months spent in great French Oak Barrels. In the mouth you will taste what the color and nose hinted at…a wonderfully rich, layered and complex wine. The wine retains a certain level of “freshness” from the natural acidity of the wine, which helps to prevent the wine from ever appearing “heavy”. All in all a balanced and ageworthy Pinot Noir." - Andrew Murray, Winemaker
