Pinot Noir
Tasting Notes
Aromas include dried cherries, rose petals, and a hint of dark chocolate. Sultry tannins and balanced acidity support flavors of cola, lavender, exotic spice, and just a trace of vineyard terroir in a lasting finish.
Vineyards
Originally planted from cuttings brought over from Europe over 40 years ago, Lucas & Lewellen’s Los Alamos vineyard offers thick layers of clay and loam soils coupled with a temperate climate to provide ideal grape- growing conditions for Rhone, Burgundian, Bordeaux, and Italian Varieties. Along the acclaimed Foxen Wine Trail, the cool-climate Goodchild Vineyard consistently produces prize-winning Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes. The soils vary from clay and gravel river deposits to hillside and hilltop sites reminiscent of the great vineyards of Burgundy.
Winemaking
Following traditional fermentation methods, the Pinot Noir is ultimately barrel-aged for 10 months in 31% new French oak.
