<P>
Our brand new 2006 Ferrari-Carano Pinot Noir comes from the Russian River Valley, an appellation known for producing some of California’s finest Pinot Noirs. The Pinot Noir has aromas of elegant floral, Bing cherry, and wild blackberry with hints of cola and spice. Rich yet delicate, bright acidity greets you on the palate with plum and bramble raspberry flavors complemented by cedar and a toasted oak finish. <BR>

A mild late spring and summer ensured a healthy canopy, which provided the perfect combination of sunlight and heat penetrating the grape clusters. These conditions allowed the grapes to reach full maturity in both flavor and structure. Harvest was completed just before the rains began.

<B><I>Winemakers Notes</B></i><BR>
<BR>
Upon entering the winery, the hand picked Pinot Noir clusters were sorted and gently destemmed allowing for partial whole berry fermentations. Meticulous care was taken in every aspect to ensure that no oxygen was introduced at any point during winemaking. Each lot was cold soaked for two to three days and fermented in small bins. Various yeast strains were utilized to add complexity . The wines were gently pressed and then immediately barrel aged for nine months in a variety of 100 percent French oak. One hundred percent malolactic fermentation was completed in barrel, allowing for the oak to integrate. <BR>

A food-friendly wine, our Pinot Noir pairs nicely with heavier fish dishes such as salmon, and is also delicious with turkey, light meats such as veal, and mushrooms. It also works well with higher acid dishes, such as those with balsamic vinaigrette, soy sauce or lemon.
