エリザベス・スペンサー ピノ・ノワール ソノマ・コースト

手摘みで収穫・選別、天然酵母で発酵。毎日のテイスティングでパンチ・ダウンのスケジュールが決められる。クラシックなピノ・ノワールのアロマを保つために発酵温度を低く保ち、その後、フレンチオークの樽に移し熟成。

Producer's note

Rich dark magenta to a classic ruby red in color. Earthy broad aromas of
forest are found beneath layers of black plum, allspice, hints of
strawberry, incense and Bing cherry. The wine has wonderful clarity and
pure varietal character. Expansive, though not weighty on the palate,
where Bing cherry, bay and cardamom flavors intermingle in this robustly
textured wine. Substantial integrated tannins carry the fruit flavors
into a long, ripe plum finish. Drinkable now, and will age wonderfully.

Vineyards
Our Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir grapes are sourced from a vineyard located
just north of San Pablo Bay on Lakeville Highway outside of Petaluma in
southern Sonoma County. Cooling influences from the nearby bay converge
with those from the Pacific coast to create a particularly cool
microclimate which allows for a stellar expression of the variety.
