2007 Lavender Hill Pinot Noir

The 2007 Lavender Hill Pinot Noir is produced from 100% Dijon Clone Pinot Noir vines grown in the Carneros Region of the Napa Valley. During the growing season, some clusters were thinned to ensure ripe, small berries and concentrated flavors. Harvesting

is done by hand in the early morning and de-stemming takes place immediately to avoid harsh tannins. A pre-fermentation process called “cold soak” helps to stabilize grapes from the harvest shock. After fermentation, the grapes are gently pressed and the juice is aged in 100% Burgundy barrels for 9 months. This reserve blend represents our best 17 barrels of Dijon Clone wine produced from the 2007 vintage.
