2015 PINOT NOIR – Bennett Valley AVA

Discover the First Vintage from our Vineyard located in the Mountain bench of Bennett Valley in Sonoma County. Nested between three mountain peaks, gentle slopes of well drained volcanic soil combine with early morning fog, cool marine breezes, and full sun during the day form the ideal terroir for growing exceptional Pinot Noir grapes.

Meticulously handcrafted, this excellently structured and beautifully balanced Pinot Noir is ready to be enjoyed or improved with additional aging.

Aged in French Oak over 14 months.  200 cases produced.

Aromas: Fresh berries, dark cherries and forest floor

Flavors: Berry cobbler, mocha and vanilla bean

Profile: Medium weight with a beautiful mouthfeel, sweet mid-palate, polished tannins and great length. This wine will age very nicely, but it will be quite difficult to wait!

Vintage: 2015 was one of the best vintages California has seen. An early start in the Spring meant an early finish in the Fall. Warm days and cool nights – near perfect conditions!
