About
Our 2021 Clos du Bois Pinot Noir is an approachable, medium-bodied red wine from California. Aromas of cherry and vanilla bean rise from the glass with a touch of anise. This wine brims with layers of sweet cherry, strawberry and raspberry with a silky mouthfeel. Ribbons of toasted oak and caramel underscore the fruit, leading to a long finish.
Viticulture Notes
This elegant Pinot Noir is sourced from select vineyards in some of California’s most renowned growing regions. The 2021 growing season experienced a warm spring, which brought on early budbreak. Dry conditions served to further reduce crops size. However, anticipated diurnal temperature shifts kept the fruit from ripening too quickly and allowed it to develop slowly and evenly.
Winemaking Notes
We prefer to harvest our Pinot Noir in the cool early morning hours, which helps preserve the inherent fruit character of the grapes. After it is delivered to the winery, we gently destem and send mostly whole berries directly to stainless steel fermenters to be cold soaked at 60-65°F for up to 2 days. During primary fermentation, we meticulously managed the extraction on skins to capture a silky tannin structure. To create subtle hints of vanilla and toasted oak, we racked the wine onto oak and let it age for 3-4 months. Individual lots were then chosen and combined to create the final blend.
