Rapture Pinot Noir 2023

$75.00

Rapture Pinot Noir is an exceptional wine that results from warm summer days tempered by cool San Francisco Bay breezes. These conditions allow the grapes to develop a complex flavor profile that results in a mouth-filling Pinot Noir. The name "Rapture" is indicative of the ecstatic feeling that comes from tasting this overwhelming Pinot Noir.

This Pinot Noir from Russian River has a dark cherry and vanilla aroma with slightly earthy notes. It has flavors of plum and cherry with a nice acidity and tannin structure that make it broad in the mouth, making it a great food wine.

Rapture is a blend of two extraordinary Pinot Noir clones being 67% Pommard from Laguna Ridge and 33% Clone 23 from Green Valley sub-appellations of our Russian River Valley vineyards.

Our Laguna Ridge vineyard has a balance of Gold Ridge and Altamont soils, encouraging the fruit to develop both excellent concentration and moderate acidity producing wines that are textured and full of dark fruit flavors, particularly blackberry.

Our Green Valley vineyards enjoy a perfect balance of cooling oceanic winds and warm sunshine. Temperatures remain quite low throughout the year, resulting in wines that are high in acidity and full of bright red fruit flavors.

Blending them therefore produces a wine that shows both bright red and dark fruit flavors, good acidity and a wonderful texture.

Fermented and matured in some new French oak with the majority being neutral Burgundy barrels.

Only 580 cases produced.
