Winemaker Notes
We are pleased to be able to offer consumers the opportunity to experience the character that our organic grapes can bring to a great Pinot Noir. Sourced from the prestigious Anderson Valley and Mendocino County appellations these cool coastal regions result in a longer growing season, thus creating a bright fruit forward Pinot Noir.
After harvest, the fruit was gently de-stemmed and moved to small open-top fermenters for a three-day cold soak. Following the cold soak, it was inoculated with select yeast strains for fermentation. The cap was punched down 2-3 times daily until we had received the desired color and level of phenols. After a gentle pressing in a basket press the wine was settled and transferred to French oak barrels where it underwent malolactic fermentation. The wine was aged in French oak for nine months and then finned with organic egg whites prior to bottling.
This Pinot Noir has aromas of strawberry, raspberry and cola accented with hints of oak spice and vanilla. In the mouth, this wine is rich with nice soft tannins with flavors of berries, vanilla and spice that fade into a lovely long finish.
