Winemakers Notes

Truly a favorite blend of mine. It is usually one of the most challenging, yet the most rewarding and pleasurable blend to assemble. The nose is reminiscent of blackberries, plums, toffee and crème brûlée. The rich/full tannins accentuate the blackberry/plumy fruits and complement the creamy, silky finish. The rich concentration of berries is added from the new blocks of fruit from our estate vineyard. This wine truly expresses the classic finesse and depth of complexity that you would expect from Russian River Valley Pinot Noir. 14.2% alcohol

Harvest Notes

Challenging weather during the 2003 growing season resulted in lighter than normal berry development. However lower yields, coupled with moderate temperatures, allowed for even ripening with good sugar, pH and acidity. Although Mother Nature provided us with a less than bountiful harvest, we are very pleased with the resulting wines. The grapes for this wine were harvested at an average of 25.4 Brix in late October.
