The Davies family of Schramsberg Vineyards and J. Davies Estate in the Napa Valley is pleased to release its first vintage of an appellation designated Pinot Noir. This wine is a blend of three vineyards located in the Sonoma Coast AVA. . The familys 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 Schramsberg Blanc de Noirs sparkling wine. Developing upon this passion, history, and experience, secondgeneration vintner Hugh Davies and winemaker Sean Thompson crafted their first single vineyard Pinot Noir in 2009, and are proud to follow up with this new offering from the 2012 vintage.

Tasting notes

Aromas of fresh raspberries accented with vanilla, baked bread, and coriander gently arise from the glass. The palate is youthful and vibrant, typical of the Sonoma Coast. Rhubarb and fresh cranberry, with hints of coffee and cherries, flow through the lively finish.- -Winemakers Sean Thompson and Hugh Davies
