Winemaking
The Pinot Noir grapes were picked at optimum ripeness, when color, flavor, and tannin were in sync. Once in the winery, the grapes were cold soaked for two days, followed by gentle fermentation in stainless steel tanks to preserve the delicate nature of the varietal. To give the wine added texture and complexity, the Pinot Noir was aged for five months in a combination of French and American oak.Vineyard
Outstanding vineyard sources are the foundation for this wine. Carefully selected fruit from premier vineyards throughout California allow the winemaker to craft the best expression of fine Pinot Noir. The Edna Valley and Monterey County areas of California, where the majority of this Pinot Noir is sourced, offer incredible growing conditions, including long, warm, sunny days tempered by cool ocean breezes.
