DESCRIPTION
Overlooking the Pacific Ocean on coastal hills of Sonoma County,
Fort Ross-Seaview is a distinct appellation. The vineyards sit above the cool
fog allowing grapes to ripen in the warm sun, producing uniquely fresh
tasting Pinot Noir wines. The dual influence of chilly temperatures and
intense sunlight on the grapes results in fragrant wines with ripe fruit and
perfumed floral aromas framed by a mouth-watering texture.
This Pinot Noir is made from hand-harvested grapes grown on high ridges
within view of the Pacific. The grapes are hand-sorted and de-stemmed,
then put through several days of pre-fermentation cold maceration to extract
color and flavor. The wine goes through a native yeast fermentation, then
12 months or more maturation with up to 33% new French oak.
TASTING NOTES
Notes of cherries and cranberries fill the glass with subtle hints of rose petals. Soft and seductive on the palate, the wine leaves you with notes of strawberries, blueberries, toasty vanilla and cloves.
