A medium-garnet color with a nose full of rose petals and lavendar. Ripe red fruit on the palate with a hint of cranberry and forest floor.
Vineyard Notes
100% Pinot Noir clone 667 from the Mahoney Ranch Vineyard in Carneros, Napa Valley.
The Mahoney Ranch Vineyard is located behind the Mahoney Family home. The 45 acres of vineyard were specifically selected to focus on 16 different clones of Pinot Noir and 2 clones of Chardonnay. The ridgeline vines are planted running east to west catching plenty of sunshine and the elevation of the hillside allows cooler temperatures to regulate ripening.
The connection between the soils, clones, and geography consistently provides us with quality fruit to work with.
