Sokol Blosser

Kalita Vineyard Yamhill-Carlton Estate Pinot Noir

Organic

- Description :
  Kalita Estate Vineyard is located in the heart of the Yamhill-Carlton AVA in the Willamette Valley. This stunning, bowl-shaped vineyard was planted in 2000 by Arthur and Sherry Kalita; it is currently LIVE certified, and Sokol Blosser is transitioning the vineyard to organic certification.
  The fruit was hand-harvested from Kalita Vineyard and brought back to the Sokol Blosser Dundee Hills Estate winery where 96% was destemmed and the rest left whole-cluster. The destemmed fruit went through an ambient fermentation while the whole cluster was fermented using our native house yeast. All of this took place in three-ton stainless steel tanks with punchdowns for cap management. The wine was aged for 10 months in French oak barrels with 20% new oak.
  Grape varieties :
  100% Pinot Noir
  Vineyard age :
  Planted from 1999 - 2001
  Alcohol :
  14.5%
  Tasting notes :
  An abundance of black fruit with blackberry, black currants, and black cherry with fresh blossom. A big, rich Pinot Noir with a perfect balance between fruit and tannins. Pair with roasted chicken, beet and goat cheese salad, or a seared rack of lamb with
  morels.
