Appellation –<\/em><\/strong> Sonoma County \/ Russian River Valley
<\/em>Wine –<\/em><\/strong> 100% Pinot Noir\u2014Single vineyard \/ Single clone
<\/em>Harvest –<\/em><\/strong> October 5, 2023<\/em>
Produced –<\/strong> 70 Cases<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vineyard Character \u2010<\/strong> The J\u2010Elise Vineyard is 100% Pommard clone on 104\u201014 rootstock. The vineyard is on the North side of the property and is characterized by Sebastopol sandy loam with pebble infused clay which is rich in mineral content and a pronounced aspect to the afternoon sun. The vines are trained to double cordons with 15 to 17 clusters per cordon yielding 3.00 to 3.25 tons per acre. The cool growing conditions with foggy mornings and ample warm sunshine contribute to the complexity of the fruit and the incomparable finish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Winemaking \u2010<\/strong> The Pinot Noir clusters were carefully hand\u2010picked in the cool, crisp morning of early September; the grapes were hand\u2010sorted and de\u2010stemmed, then cold soaked prior to pressing and fermentation; Sur lie aged with weekly stirrings; barrel\u2010aged eleven months in 30% new French oak. Our Pinot Noir is crafted entirely from the Pommard clone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Tasting Notes \u2010<\/strong> Heavenly aromas of dark cherry fruit greet the nose. Integrated flavors of ripe berries and warm spice tones fill the mouth and lead to a smooth full\u2010bodied finish. This elegant wine with its concentrated fruit will continue to mature and become more complex.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
