2015 Hudson Vineyards Pinot Noir (1 X 750 ML)
The Vineyards
The Hudson Vineyards are planted in the rolling hills north of Highway 12 in the Napa Valley’s Carneros District. Located at the southernmost end of the valley, the grapes are favorably influenced by the nightly -cooling effect of the closely located San Pablo Bay. The low temperatures and slow cloud burn-off allow for longer hang time on the vines, developing flavor and intensity with mild sun exposure. With soils dominated by well draining alluvials and loam, the vines are able to glean the necessary nutrients and moisture needed to produce balanced, fruitful wines.
Tasting notes
Fruitful aromas of strawberry and black plum intertwine with hints of milk chocolate, dried mint and white flowers. The rich and well-structured palate is full of fresh blackberry and cassis, integrated with a touch of black pepper, and finishes with a lingering acidity.- Winemakers Sean Thompson and Hugh Davies
