California Pinot Noir develop rich cherry characteristics as a result of the warm climate, and longer ripening time on the vine. They harvest at night, then cold soak the grapes to preserve its rich berry flavours and ruby-red colour. Then it is fermented in stainless steel tanks to enhance the cherry flavours. Finally aged in oak with a mix of French, American and medium toast levels to integrate the cask aged characters for seven long months. They remain patient as they wait for this ageing process to yield their favourite elevated characteristics of cherry, strawberry, toast, vanilla, and spice.
