Seven separate clonal selections of Pinot Noir grow on the Truchard Estate Vineyard. Each clone provides a unique element of fruit, spice, and texture to the final blend. The vines are planted in select sites that take full advantage of the thin soils, rolling hills, and cooler temperatures of the Carneros region. The 2005 Pinot Noir, has smoky aromas of wild strawberry, cranberry, and ripe plum; combined with subtle notes of citrus blossom, tea, and sweet vanilla. The mouth is silky - layered with rich flavors of bing cherry, rhubarb, and toasted oak. Bright acidity and delicate tannins focus the palate and provide a lingering finish of spice and red fruit. |
