Nuances rose petal, cola, earth and black cherry set the stage for this Pinot, leading to flavors of fresh baked blackberry pie and a silky mouthfeel. With a mouthwatering acidity and long finish, this Pinot is unmistakably Edna Valley Vineyard.NOTES FROM THE WINEMAKER We picked the grapes for this Pinot Noir from two premier AVAs within the Central Coast Monterey County and our home vineyard in San Luis Obispo County. Both Monterey and San Luis Obispo are cooler growing regions, resulting in longer time on the vine for our grapes. The 2014 vintage was warm and dry, leading to an early harvest that didnt skimp on flavors or acidity.We harvested during the coolest hours of the morning, then destemmed and cold soaked for five days at 45F. Following fermentation, the wine was drained and the cap was pressed lightly to extract the most flavorful juice from just beneath the skins surface. Some lots underwent extended maceration to intensify the color and flavor. All lots completed malolactic fermentation and were aged on 100% French oak for an average of six to eight months.” – Edna Valley Vineyard
