Nose
The nose in reminiscent of Chambord with rich raspberry notes.
Palate
The palate has great depth of fruit and notes of Christmas spices like clove and nutmeg. The wine displays vibrant acidity
and has a very clean finish.
Harvest
The 2015 Vintage started with a cool spring that limited crop yields severely…especially in the Sonoma Coast. The lower crop
yields produced a fairly intense vintage with riper fruit profiles.
Winemaking
Our Pinot Noir fermentations are relatively short…typically lasting form 9-11 days. We don’t have a rule based approach to
using whole clusters but most ferments include 10-20% whole clusters.
Aging
Aged 11 months in French oak 38% new coopers Ermitage, taransaud and Francois freres
Food Pairing
Our Flanagan Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast pairs beautifully with duck, salmon, pork and game; like pheasant, venison, and elk.
