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 has been very approachable while young. Its composition of the 23 and 115 clones was a pleasant surprise from this vineyard in 2007. We added the 23 block after the low yields in 2007 created a shortfall in our block of 115. With its great contribution to overall depth and structure, this beautiful block of 23 now is a part of our vintages to come.

Tasting Notes

This wine begins with pretty aromas of violets and cherries. These lead you into a sumptuous palate exhibiting dark cherry, ripe plum, and a hint of sandalwood. Pleasing tannins reveal themselves in this wine's satisfying finish along with light yet sensual notes of vanilla bean. Representative food pairings: duck confit, pork tenderloin with cherry gastrique, or rare tuna served with a reduction of veal stock, hoisin, and orange.
