Our 2007 Fairview Road Ranch Pinot Noir marries two of the most seductive clones of Pinot Noir grown in the Santa Lucia Highlands, Pommard 4 and 667, to create an alluring wine of luscious fruit commingled with earthiness and spice. In 2007, Fairview Road Ranch experienced outstanding growing conditions with mild, steady temperatures providing an elongated period of ripening. With hang times well into October, flavors had the opportunity to develop to their fullest potential while natural acidity remained nicely intact. The tiny, concentrated clusters typical of this vineyard were especially well focused and among the most pristine we've seen at the winery.

Tasting Notes

This wine is loaded with fruit beginning with fervent aromas of raspberry, orange rind, and earth. The palate exhibits layers of mouthwatering dark cherry, coffee, and clove, concluding with a hint of brioche in a lingering finish. Representative food pairings: a classically prepared boeuf bourguignon, or lamb with country vegetables. Lamb and game tend to magnify the interplay between this wine's earthier attributes and its attractive fruit.
