Detailed Wine Information
Alcohol: 14.5%
Appellation: Russian River Valley
Bottling Date: July 24, 2008
Harvest Date: The vineyards comprising this wine were harvested from September 3 through September 9, 2007, beginning approximately a week earlier than normal but finishing in record time.
Months in Barrel: 10
Release Date: March 01, 2009

Vineyard Notes: We select fruit for our RRV Pinot noir from several small, hands-on growers located throughout the Russian River Valley in order to create a wine that represents our appellation as a whole. The fog-cooled climate and rich alluvial soils of the Russian River Valley provide the perfect conditions for growing Pinot noir. The appellation lies in an area of maximal summer coastal fog incursion providing temperate days and very cool nights resulting in wines with a bright natural acidity and full fruit flavor development due to the slow ripening and long hang times.

Vintage Notes: The 2007 growing season began with a colder than normal winter followed by a very dry spring requiring early irrigation. Cluster formation appeared average at first but unseasonably cool spring weather caused considerable shatter with
eventual yields down by 30 to 40%. There were no real heat spells until very
late in the season but hot weather at this point caused the Pinot noir harvest to
be fast and furious.

Winemakers Notes: After sorting, the grapes were gently destemmed into small, custom designed open top fermenters and kept below 50°F for a five day cold soak. Tanks were
then individually warmed to allow fermentation to take place in a timely
manner followed by cooling as needed to maintain temperatures below 85°F.
Thrice daily pneumatic punch downs took place during the cold soak and
fermentation. Once dry, the wine was gently pressed in a membrane press
keeping free run and press fractions separate. Malolactic fermentation took
place in oak barrels.
