Estate Pinot Noir Magnum 2014

TASTING NOTES

By nose: Cassis, licorice, black berry, red cherry, raspberry and roasting herbs. By mouth: Cola nut, dark cherry, black berry and dried herbs.

VINEYARD NOTES

Pinot Noir is where our special, Green Valley soil type, really comes to the fore. Gold Ridge soil is a sandy clay loam, so the drainage is excellent. Most importantly, all of the mineral elements are inherently, naturally balanced. The result is all the bright fruit you’d expect from Russian River, but with an underlying layer of earthiness and depth of character.

WINEMAKER NOTES

This wine shows how beautifully our Pinot Noirs gain with age. The wine has great complexity and yet the weight and texture is so light and silky, it just glides across the palate.
