In the cellar:
Our first pick of the vintage, late in the evening on September 2nd. All bins foot trod to enhance color and phenolic extraction. Juice stayed in contact with the skins for six hours before heading to the press. Native ferments in both stainless steel drums and neutral french oak barrels. Once the primary fermentation is complete these barrels get topped up and put in the cold room to stop full malolactic fermentation from taking place, preserving that bright acid that we love so much.
In the vineyard:
The Pinot Noir comes from our small block at Barnwell Vineyard, a Certified California Sustainable Vineyard in the heart of the Russian River Valley. Grower Joey Barnwell, aside from being one of Bobby’s childhood friends, is a second generation farmer whose family has lived on and farmed this land since the 1970’s. Only organic sprays used while farming.
