Tasting Notes
This perennial charmer expresses the bright red fruit of Dijon clones complemented by the earth and structure of Hallberg Vineyard. Summer strawberries and red plums dance with notes of cedar and dried mushrooms over forest floor and white peppercorn. Darker fruit and savory earth flavors are ensconced by silky tannins and lively acidity, reminding you of the charm this complex Pinot Noir will only gain over time.
Vineyard Notes
Nestled in the Green Valley sub appellation, the site enjoys refreshing daytime breezes and cool nighttime temperatures. The strong marine influence means less severe daily temperature shifts so the vines never completely shut down, producing fruit with deep, dark color, great structure, silky tannins, darker fruit flavors and earthy characteristics. Dijon clones selected for this blend come from three different blocks flanking the east and west sides of the Hallberg ranch. The 777 and 667 clones on the west side of the ranch contribute structure, spice and earthiness, while the 777 from the east side tends to offer dense, dark fruit flavors and lovely floral aromatics.
