| Our 2006 Pinot Noir was produced primarily from grapes grown along California’s marine-influenced Central Coast. Reflecting the character of the cool, elongated 2006 vintage, which fostered the development of classic varietal aromas and flavors in our Pinot Noir grapes, this vivacious red wine’s hallmark is fresh, vibrant fruit. In the nose, lovely raspberry and dried cherry aromas mingle with complementary scents of white and black pepper, mint and chicory.
On the medium-bodied palate, the wine’s supple, silky, berry and cherry jam flavors display a zesty black pepper spiciness in the bright, crisp finish. Enjoy this pert, pretty Pinot Noir with grilled salmon, herb-roasted chicken, baked ham, and lighter pork and duck dishes.
The cool microclimates and well-drained alluvial soils of the Central Coast vineyards from which we source Pinot Noir enable our grapes to ripen slowly and evenly throughout the growing season, developing the complex, seductive flavors that make Pinot Noir among the world’s most prized grape varieties. Working with this high-quality fruit enables us to produce a Pinot Noir with classic berry and spice aromas, a supple, silky texture and vibrant, elegant flavors.
