In 2006, a cool, extended growing season and harvest enabled our Gallery Vineyard Pinot Noir grapes to hang on the vine for a minimum of 112 days developing ripe, concentrated flavors. After fermenting the juice in small stainless steel tanks with manual punchdowns of the cap, Hangtime winemaker Tony Coltrin aged the wine in 100% new French oak barrels to add a clove-like spiciness to its rich, vibrant, red-fruit flavors. Our Pinot Noir is a perfect complement, rather than a competitor, to the fine works of the Chef.
