Our 2007 Saralee's Vineyard Pinot Noir reflects the purity and elegance of Pinot Noir from the Russian River Valley. In 2007, low yields and exceptional hang times at Saralee's Vineyard created a wine of focused, layered flavors and noteworthy structure. Enchanting fruit, good acidity, and delicate tannins, all in the proper harmony, enhance this wine's worthiness for ageing, yet the wine remains very approachable while young. Interestingly, its composition of 23 and 115 was actually unexpected. We added the 23 clone after the low yields in 2007 created a shortfall in our block of 115. With its great contribution to the overall depth and structure of this wine, we are pleased that this beautiful block of 23 now is a key part of our vintages to come.

Tasting Notes

Aromas of violets and cherry are followed by a sumptuous palate of dark cherry, ripe plum, sandalwood, and a touch of vanilla bean. Pleasing tannins reveal themselves in this wine's lengthy finish. Representative food pairings: duck confit, pork tenderloin with cherry gastrique, or rare tuna served with a reduction of veal stock, hoisin sauce, and orange.
