Karah's Hillside Vineyard Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir

Karah's Hillside Vineyard Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir Wine Details
Price: $36.00 per bottle

Description: These small clusters were close to the trunk and were very well nourished. The tiny, yet luscious, maroon colored berries were intensely juicy with an almost caramelized boysenberry taste. The grapes were handled carefully and approximately 30% were left whole. Partial whole berry fermentation helped enhance the varietal fruit character and allowed for some carbonic maceration. The fermentation was kept cool and extended maceration for 26 days; this protects the finer qualities of the fruit, like the herbs and spices. This Pinot Noir spent 12 months aging in French Oak before it was bottled. This is a real Pinot Noir with flavors of Ruby Red Grapefruit, black cherries and lots of allspice. This wine has been dubbed as the most Burgundy-style Pinot Noir outside of France by many a "Pinot People."
