Our 2007 Russian River Pinot is produced from vineyards near the banks of the Russian River. A small amount of Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir was blended for its spicy character. Our primary vineyard is located on a well-drained, gravelly site less than one mile from the Russian River. This vineyard experiences the full impact of the cooling fog that travels up its banks. The fruit is harvested in the cool morning hours and transported to the winery (about 15 minutes away) for crushing into our small, two-ton custom designed fermenting tanks. A portion of juice is fermented using pure strain yeast. The balance ferments spontaneously with wild (indigenous) yeast. During fermentation, we punch down the cap by hand several times each day to gently extract the grapes flavors and aromas. The wine is aged in French oak barrels, of which about 40% is new. winery notes This is a California wine
