This single-vineyard pinot noir offers captivating scents of ripe red fruits and wild berries blended with dried rose petals and savory spices. On the palate, the lavish flavors of blackberry and pomegranate are lifted with harmonious notes of wild sage, cinnamon and a kiss of oak. As the intensity of this young wine expands in the glass, the earthy, fruit-driven flavors and firm tannins are balanced with a combination of velvety texture, bright acidity, and spicy notes that linger on the finish.
Pair this complex pinot noir with aged goat cheeses, grilled Portobellos, spicy roast chicken, cedar planked salmon or beef bourguignon.

GEHRICKE
Located on the slopes of the Sonoma Valley, this small vineyard benefits from early morning fog with a late burnoff, providing the temperatures required to fully ripen zinfandel. Sandy clay loam soils maintain vine nutrient balance. The 2015 growing season started with rain in February, soothing worries about the fourth year of California’s drought affecting the vegetative cycle of the vines. Moderate summer temperatures with only a few heat spikes in September allowed for a relaxed, excellent development of flavors and retention of natural acidity. After harvest, the zinfandel was hand-picked, destemmed, then fermented and aged in a combination of American, French and Hungarian Oak barrels for 18 months.
