Alexander Valley Vineyards Pinot Noir 2016

This wine was made from hand-harvested grapes gown near the Russian River (where the morning fog lingers and cools the vines), some of which underwent “cryoextraction” (using dry ice to gain maximum extraction of flavor and color). Fermentation took place in large stainless steel bins and was followed by aging for 10 months in French oak.

Aroma: Sour cherry, spiced stewed plums, dried apricots, lemon shortbread, grassy.
Palate: Plum, currants, cherry, blackberry, hint of strawberry, juicy, grassy, soft tannins, nice acidity.
