2007 Suacci Vineyard Pinot Noir
In 2007 the fruit ripened to perfection, and we are seeing the results of a young vineyard establishing itself. The Suacci vineyard is starting to shed its baby fat and the resulting wine from the Suacci Vineyard is bolder and more complex with a nice richness while maintaining its petite, crisp stature. On the nose, the wine displays the hallmark Suacci flavors: herbs, pomegranate, raspberry and earth, but the mouthfeel is lush and powerful. It is a great hearty dish match, or a great wine to be enjoyed on its own.
Vintage Notes
The 2007 vintage was the third cool vintage in a row in the Russian River Valley. We were blessed with an even keeled growing season that let the fruit ripen to a complex level that we have not yet seen in past vintages. There were no major heat spikes, and we were blessed with a foggy September. At the beginning of October a few warm days helped push the fruit to its perfect ripeness level, and we were able to harvest exactly when we wanted.
