Russian Hill ENSUEÑOS TROPICALES Pinot Noir 2006 Russian River Valley

Viticulture—2006 The 2006 growing season was a year of extremes including the wettest March in recorded history as well as a July that had the longest heat spell ever recorded in California. The combination of a wet winter and spring followed by warm summer weather caused luxuriant growth of both leaves and fruit, requiring considerable excess work to bring the vines into balance and to reduce crop load. Winemaker’s Notes Fermented in small, custom designed open top fermenters and kept below 55°F for a five day cold soak, this Pinot greets you with the classic bright, well defined aromas of Bing cherry and cola on the nose. These flavors follow through on the palate and are complemented by the pleasing toastiness of the new French oak. Not over extracted, the wine shows firm structure and suppleness in the mid-palette and an elegant finish.
