N/A
Sold Out
The Davies family of Schramsberg Vineyards and J. Davies Estate in the Napa Valley is pleased to release its seventh vintage of Pinot Noir still wines. 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. Over the 49 years following that first use, Schramsbergs 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 and Senior Winemaker Sean Thompson are proud to present this vineyard-designate Pinot Noir wine from the 2014 vintage.

The Vineyard
Nobles Vineyard produces bright, complex, and richly layered Pinot Noir. It is located approximately 75 miles north of San Francisco, on the north Sonoma Coast, in the recently designated Fort Ross-Seaview AVA. With the vineyards moderate daytime and nighttime temperature swings, the Pinot Noir grapes follow a steady path to optimum ripeness, full flavor and color expression. The site is located on the eastern slopes of the second mountain ridge in from the Pacific Ocean, between 950 and 1,050 feet above sea level. Planted in 1993, on the propertys Goldridge fine sandy loam soil, less than two tons per acre of vibrant, yet supple, fruit is harvested each year.

Tasting notes

Aromas of juicy cherry, fresh strawberry and rich dark chocolate are balanced by undertones of vanilla and espresso. The dense, concentrated palate is full of black raspberry and baking spice flavor on entry and leads into a long, plush finish.- Winemakers Sean Thompson and Hugh Davies
