Cline Pinot Noir Estate Grown

”this is a food-friendly wonder child that can stand up to lamb or roast beef yet won’t overpower lighter fish or pasta dishes. Vineyard our sonoma coast vineyards are approximately 4 and 8 miles west of the winery. Our lazy c vineyard is in an area called the petaluma gap and those vines see cooling coastal wind through much of the growing season. Our lazy p and m ranches are a few miles further north and the vines occupy a number of different facings. The vines are often shrouded in fog which makes for a long cool growing season and maximum flavors. Both of these areas are known for producing outstanding pinot noir grapes and wine. Production grapes were hand-harvested pressed and barreled for 8 months in 40% new medium plus toasted french oak for subtle vanilla and toffee notes. Tasting notes & pairings bright red fruit characteristics mingle with deep color lush body touches of vanilla and spearmint followed by delicate strawberry flavor. ” – cline cellars
