| Vinification | The grapes for this Pinot Noir come from cool areas throughout the Russian River Valley growing region. We hand-harvested whole grape clusters at 24.5 Brix, de-stemmed and gravity-fed them into small, three to ten ton open-top fermenters. Following a five-day cold soak, the must fermented for seven to ten days using Burgundy yeast and natural inoculums. The wine was drained to barrel to undergo malolactic fermentation in 100% French oak, approximately 30% of which was new. Each vineyard, block and clone was kept separate until blending in May. |
