Pinot Noir
Don Miguel Vineyard
Green Valley of Russian River Valley
Cast Wines
The Don Miguel Vineyard Pinot Noir grapes were harvested in four distinct clonal blocks over the full course of October as even within a small area of the vineyard they ripened at varying pace. The clones show a remarkable array of presentation generally offering notes of strawberry, black tea and raspberry with briar undertones and hints of sweet spice, vanilla and white pepper. The flavors mimic the aromatic qualities and fold in notes of dark chocolate, vanilla and hints of sweet smoke/roasted cherry wood.
This elegant wine is of moderate richness, beautiful garnet in color, with a fine entry of cherry vanilla and a full mid palate, wide into the cheeks and a long pleasing finish, approaching raspberry.
