Our La Pommeraie Pinot Noir is handcrafted with fruit sourced from a Martinelli Family vineyard in the Russian River Valley which at one time was a spectacular apple orchard along the Laguna Ridge. Aptly christened "La Pommeraie" (French for apple orchard), our newest Pinot Noir pays homage to the Martinelli's site and its rich history. The vines are meticulously farmed and planted to Dijon Pinot Noir clones 777 & 828. This extraordinary single-vineyard Pinot Noir gives an immediate impression of depth and concentration in the glass, with remarkably explosive aromas of boysenberry and black cherry. The palate is viscous and rich, yet light on its feet, with fine polished tannins and an exceptionally balanced acidity. Although delicious upon release, we expect this wine to improve with cellaring for six to eight years from vintage date.
