2011 Londer Vineyard Pinot Noir (1 X 750 ML)

N/A
Sold Out
The Davies family of Schramsberg Vineyards and J. Davies Estate in Napa Valley is pleased to release its third vintage of still wines made from Pinot Noir. The family’s experience with Pinot Noir dates back to 1967, when Jack and Jamie Davies first used this elegant red varietal to make their inaugural vintage of Blanc de Noirs sparkling wine. Over the 45 years following that first use, Schramsberg’s winemakers have built long-lasting relationships with some of the best Pinot Noir growers in the North Coast. Developing upon this passion, history, and experience, second-generation vintner Hugh Davies, winemaker Sean Thompson, and the Davies/Schramsberg team are proud to present three vineyard-designate Pinot Noir wines from the 2011 vintage.

Vineyard
Located in the Anderson Valley AVA, one of California’s coolest growing regions, the Londer Vineyard is approximately 115 miles north of San Francisco in the southwestern corner of Mendocino County. On many summer nights, a blanket of fog rises up to the 400 foot elevation, curling around the three acre Londer Vineyard at the valley’s northwest end. The fog gradually burns off during the warm, dry, sunny days, to allow the grapes to slowly develop and ripen throughout the season. This vineyard is planted on south facing hills with well-drained soil of loam covered, sandstone bedrock, and produces two to three tons per acre of dark, vibrant Pinot Noir

Tasting notes

Aromas of blackberry and boysenberry jam combined with brown bread and baking spices. The palate is full, dense and viscous. Black raspberry and loganberry crumble mingle with vanilla and nutmeg, and are expressed throughout the sustained, balanced and dense finish.- Winemakers Sean Thompson and Hugh Davies
