100% estate-grown Pinot Noir from our Pastorale Vineyard.
WINEMAKING DATA
Highlighting favorite blocks within our Pastorale Vineyard, the 2018 vintage showcases Calera and Clone 777 from three separate blocks. Clusters were hand-sorted to separate the best for a 35% whole cluster fermentation which resulted in a focused textural complexity in the finished wine.
WINEMAKER NOTES
A nuanced and expressive offering, the 2018 Pinot Noir from Pastorale Vineyard boasts aromatic red and black fruit, heady rose and black pepper scents with a fruit core laser focused on black raspberry and cherry notes. Firm acid and powerful structure balance a lingering spicy finish notable in wines from the western Sonoma Coast.
VINTAGE NOTES
The 2018 Sonoma Coast growing season was marked by cool, mild weather. The cooler than normal spring delayed budbreak, bloom and veraison by two weeks compared to the previous five years. The mild weather patterns in August and September allowed for excellent overall phenological ripening and development of a complex aroma and flavor profile in the finished wines.
