DESCRIPTION
The modern era at Stanly Ranch began with Louis Martini planting Pinot Noir and Chardonnay in the 1950's. Saintsbury first bought Stanly fruit in 1984 beginning what has become an unbroken streak of vintages since. This classis Stanly shows both the high-toned fruit and the floral notes that are the vineyard's trademark, as well as a rich savory core of plum, cocoa, and cedar, and a long energetic finish.
VINTAGE 2015 A warm Spring led to early bud break and bloom, while a cold May reduced fruit set and kept yields in check. Final ripening happened at a steady state and contributed to an early harvest with high fruit quality. Harvest Date: 8/15 – 8/25
WINEMAKING The fruit is night harvested and arrives on the crushpad at daybreak. From there, each block remains separate and receives gentle handling starting on the sorting table and to the open top fermenters for 5 day cold soak, 14 day total cuvaison.
