Once the grapes arrive at the winery, they are carefully destemmed and cold soaked for several days to enhance color and flavor Fermentation takes place in small, open top tanks with twice daily punch downs to intensify flavor and structure. After a gentle pressing, the wine is racked into French oak barrels, 25% new, for 11 months of aging.VINTAGE: The grapes that we sourced from the Russian River Valley region got off to a cold start that progressed to a warm & fast finish. This pattern resulted in a slightly earlier and quicker harvest this year.WINEMAKER NOTES: Brilliant crimson in color, Raeburn Russian River Valley Pinot Noir leads with pleasing aromas of berry pie, lavender and vanilla. The palate is marked with fresh fruit flavors of lush wild blueberry, raspberry, and cherry with undertones of roasted hazelnut. The finish is graceful and sophisticated.
