2014 Smoke Tree Pinot Noir Sonoma County, CA
$22 bottle
Smoke Tree Pnot Noir comes from up to forty different plots across four main regions: the Petaluma Gap, the hillsides above San Francisco Bay, the shallow clay soils of Carneros and the rolling hills of Russian River Valley. Primarily made up of Dijon Clone vines that were planted at high density in the 90’s, these vineyards bear modest yields. Precision viticulture produces fruit that is even ripening, allowing for an earlier harvest brix level -- ideal for Smoke Tree’s vision of balanced, elegant wines. Aromas of red plum, raspberry and forest floor. The palate is juicy with loads of dark cherry and plum, ending with a long, balanced finish. |
