2021 District 7 Pinot Noir
2021 District 7 Pinot Noir
Description
Tasting NotesThe 2020 Pinot Noir delivers the subtle elegance that can only come from sustainable farmed, cold-climate vineyards. Key aromatics include cherries, plums and raspberries with notes of mocha, vanilla and smoky oak. The palate is rich, smooth and silky with a lingering bright red fruit finish. Medium bodied, soft tannins, bright red fruit with a lingering subtle sweet oak note. An elegant, balanced offering that is the ultimate food wine. Try it with grilled salmon, roast duck, pork tenderloin or soft-ripened cheeses.
Vineyards
Of all grape varieties, Pinot Noir is the most sensitive to its terroir. District 7 works hard each vintage to get it right in the vineyard so that when the grapes are harvested and arrive at the winery, they can step aside and allow the fruit to speak for itself. The cool temperatures of District 7 present ideal growing conditions for Pinot Noir. Each afternoon, the reliable winds from the Monterey Bay come howling down the valley, keeping the estate vineyards at a moderate temperature.
