| Ketcham Estate is about making seductive Pinot Noir wines with rich fruits, that have structure and balance and are very food friendly. We are about family, friends, food and wine and are committed to putting a significant portion of our profits back into charitable endeavors and our local community. After all, that is what Pinot Noir is all about.
We are not about what the famed San Francisco Chronicle columnist Herb Caen used to call the "Prismatic Luminescence School of Wine Tasting", or any type of wine snobbery. Just good wine with food, family and friends. Wine should not be some grand complication and neither is our philosophy.
Our commitment to the quality model is uncompromising in all aspects of our wines. We've written the checks to prove it. How do you make a small fortune making Pinot Noir? Answer: Start with a large one. | Healdsburg, Ca

2006 Ketcham Estate Ketcham Vineyard Pinot Noir
Ketcham Vineyard, Russian River Valley
This is the first wine we have produced with
grapes exclusively from our vineyard (to say
we are excited is a gross understatement!). The
nose is more intense ... morethan the RRV, and more
complex. There is a hint of dark chocolate
wrapped around the signature spice and dark
red fruits. This wine has more explosive flavors
and the chocolate nuances appear on the palate
as well. But this wine screams Russian River
Valley and confirms the profile that we believe
is a hallmark of the vineyard - that is, red
raspberries, cherries and an underlying stream
of spices. The wine has softer tannins and,
although it is approachable now, it will greatly
benefit from a year or two in the cellar. Only 92
cases produced.
