Nose
The nose leads with black cherry and black raspberry, balanced with aromas of crushed quartz and dried rose petal.
Palate
The layered flavors of dark berries and dried flowers transition to an elegant, polished texture with a lingering finish of coffee and minerals.
Growing Conditions
Land’s Edge Pinot Noir is sourced from vineyards located at the ‘Land’s Edge’ of the Sonoma Coast AVA. The vineyards are driven by a maritime influence producing a small but concentrated crop of Pinot Noir that is harvested in mid to late October in cooler vintages like 2011. The foggy coastal climate preserves natural acidity in the grapes and helps delineate the purity of fruit flavors and expression of the unique coastal terroir in this wine. Balanced acidity, layers of complexity and firm tannins will allow for long and graceful aging of Land’s Edge Vineyards Pinot Noir.
