Vineyard Notes
The Russian River Valley Pinot Noir is a blend of Ketcham Estate and Suacci Vineyard. The Ketcham Estate fruit was the cleanest, most perfectly uniform clusters to come into the cellar for the whole 2009 harvest.
Winemaker Notes
The savory kirsch and cherry flavors of the Ketcham Estate are a nice counterplay to the earthy, red-fruited intensity of the Suacci. Clones are Pommard, 828, 115 and 777. Native primary and malolactic fermentation.
