2008 PINOT NOIR, HEIN VINEYARD, ANDERSON VALLEY The Hein Family Vineyard is located in the “deep end” of the valley, where the cooling influence of the fog extends flavor development and results in a balance of fruit and earth. The aroma is earthy, mushroom-y and has a smoky/woodsy note. The palate unfolds with dark cherry and cranberry fruit that finishes smooth and juicy. Good acidity and subtle tannins provide structure to make this an enjoyable, food-friendly wine for years to come. |

2007 PINOT NOIR, LA ENCANTADA From the Santa Rita Hills, La Encantada vineyard is owned by Richard and Thekla Sanford (of Sanford Pinot Noir fame) and is one of the first vineyards in Santa Barbara County to be certified organic by the California Certified Organic Farmers (CCOF). Our La Encantada Pinot Noir is very fruit-driven, with fragrant cherry, strawberry and a hint of smoke on the nose. It displays a deep ruby color, leaning towards crimson. The palate unfolds with lush sweet cherry and blackberries, spice, floral notes and a hint of cola. The La Encantada has great structure and is a fantastic wine for both sharing with friends now and tucking away in the cellar for later. |
