Pinot Noir

15894 visitors
Pinot noir is a red wine grape variety of the species Vitis vinifera. The name may also refer to wines produced predominantly from pinot noir grapes. The name is derived from the french words for pine and black alluding to the varietals tightly clustered dark purple pine cone shaped bunches of fruit.

Pinot noir grapes are grown around the world, but the grape is chiefly associated with the Burgundy region of France. In De re rustica, Columella described a grape variety in Burgundy in the 1st century A.D. that sounds like Pinot noir. It is widely considered to produce some of the finest wines in the world, but is a difficult variety to cultivate and transform into wine.
More information on Pinot Noir
Food Pairing: Pairs well with chocolate and Gruyere cheese. Try with game fare, ragouts, Peking duck and wild salmon. A classic pairing with Beouf Bourgogne.

2004 Pinot Noir
Santa Lucia Highlands

This wine is a testament to the cool climate and terroir of the Santa Lucia Highlands, a prime growing
region for Pinot Noir. Its spicy character, typical of this appellatio ...moren, is coupled with an amazing depth
of tart red cherry fruit. This wine was aged 16 months in tight-grained Hungarian oak, a barrel choice
that complements rather than dominates the delicate Pinot Noir fruit and produces a smooth, silky
mouthfeel. The palate is well structured, with rich, gorgeous colour and smooth tannins to ensure ageability.


Nose: Complex, with red and black fruits, licorice and a hint of oak.

Palate: Spicy, with an amazing depth of tart red cherry fruit, enhanced by some earthiness. Finishes
clean and fresh. Balanced.

Russian River Valley

There are hints of dark fruit, cinnamon, and cloves on the nose. Black raspberry enhances the heady aromas. Smooth, rich, round and creamy, finishing with a good acid balance and s ...moremooth tannins.

It’s a bit young, and it needs time in the glass to really blossom. Let it breathe for at least half an hour.

The site for these grapes is unique — cool climate, rich fertile Russian River Valley soil, and rolling hills set against a background of stately ancient oaks. The quality that we get each year is consistent. Floral, fruity, and spicy — everything you want in a Pinot Noir, and then some!
