Saintsbury Carneros Pinot Noir Stanly Ranch 2017 750 ML

The fruit is night harvested and arrives on the crushpad at daybreak. From there, each block remains separate and receives gentle handling starting on the sorting table and to the open top fermenters for 5 day cold soak, 14 day total cuvaison. Tangy in dark woody fruit, oak and tannin, this medium-bodied wine shows a wealth of herbal sage and earth. Interwoven flavors of orange, strawberry and rhubarb round out the palate in a complementary fashion.
Producer Information
Saintsbury specializes in Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. The Chardonnay is fermented and aged in barrels coopered in Burgundy. Three styles of Pinot Noir are produced: “Garnet” is a fresh, lively wine full of cherry and raspberry fruit; the wine simply called Carneros Pinot Noir is a more classic rendition; and the Reserve Pinot Noir is the richest and most fully flavored of the vintage.
