2007
Jayson Pinot Noir
“Dense reddish-purple hue. Opens with ripe plums, cola and a hint of ginger. The bright and lively palate unfolds with layers of mixed red and black berries and dessert knish. The finish is balanced and with great length.”

Winemaking Notes
Our grape bunches were hand-sorted, and once de-stemmed, the berries were again sorted by hand on the way to the tank. This was followed by a four to five day cold soak, depending on flavor extraction. The wine was then fermented with native yeast in small open-top fermentors for two to three weeks. Towards the end of fermentation the fruit was gently pressed and moved to barrel. The wine finished fermenting in barrel to help integrate the flavors from the oak. The wine continued to age in 70% new French oak for twelve months. The wine was bottled unfined and unfiltered.
Pleasantly fresh earth scents join supple ripe plum and black cherry fruit in this medium- to full-bodied wine that wins points for delicacy and finesse. Drink now through 2014.
