Product Description
AVAILABILITY: 3 BOTTLES IN STOCKNOTES: In 2012, Occidental began planting 65 acres of pinot noir on our Bodega Ridge property. The Running Fence Vineyard represents the first 14 acres of Pinot Noir planted surrounding the winery on Bodega Ridge. The soils on this site are predominantly fractured sandstone but are more gravelly with less water holding capacity than the soils at Bodega Headlands. The grapes are hand-harvested at night. They are hand-sorted first as clusters, then as individual berries. There No cold soak, native yeast fermentation, minimal punch-downs, open-top 4-ton fermenters are drained after 18-21 days. Aged in 30% new Francois Freres barrels for 12 months, unracked until moved to bottling tank. Bottled unfined and unfiltered.
Aromatically this wine has flavors black cherries, pomegranate, and dried thanksgiving herbs. On the palate, the wine is a touch more briney, with wild notes of brambly dark fruits and a damp topsoil undertone.
