Belle Glos Pinot Noir Dairyman Russian River Valley 2021 750 ML
We harvested early in the morning so the fruit would arrive at the winery while the grapes were still cool to preserve the vineyard-fresh flavors. After destemming (but not crushing) the berries, we cold-soaked the fruit for up to two weeks to soften the skins and allow for ideal extraction. During fermentation in a combination of closed and open-top stainless steel fermenters, we used both punch-downs and pump-overs to extract color and tannins, and also to control temperatures and maximize flavors. We aged the wine in 100% French oak (60% new) for up to nine months. After the wine underwent malolactic fermentation, we racked it twice before making the final blend.
Belle Glos Pinot Noir Eulenoch 2019 750 ML
After a winter that delivered some rain, the 2019 vintage started with a chilly May. After the cool start to the growing season, the marine layer that flows in from San Pablo Bay to Napa Valley was notably less prevalent than normal. This pattern locked in warm weather during June, July, and August that proved to be ideal for ripening the fruit. The crop was light compared to average, but it developed beautifully. The result was dark, lush, and ripe fruit with slightly lower acids for our second vintage of Eulenloch Pinot Noir.
