The challenge with Pinot is to get enough extract from the skins without making the wine too heavy or too rustic. The 2011 Growing Season was nice and cool which allowed the grapes ample time to ripen without losing their acidity. The luxurious density, beautiful structure and velvety texture make this an example of a cool, classic Pinot Noir vintage.

The L’Attitude 39° Pinot Noir is a harmonious wine grown in the Russian River and Sonoma Carneros appellations. Consistent warm days and cool foggy evenings create the ideal climate for growing Burgundian varietals. The Pinot Noir grapes are hand harvested at night and in the early morning, a labor-intensive process that helps retain the freshness and acidity so crucial to well-balanced Pinot Noir.

90 Point Review - Wilfred Wong (Previous Vintage) On the darker side of the varietal, the ’10 L’Attitude Pinot Noir is rock solid on the palate; delivers plenty of black fruit flavors; lasting in the finish.
