Pinot Noir Nine Barrel 2011 - $90

The La Crema Nine Barrel wines are the ultimate expression of the fog-laden vineyards of Russian River Valley. Fragile, temperamental and beautifully expressive, Pinot Noir must be handled delicately from vine to bottle to capture everything this gorgeous varietal has to offer, and this release is an excellent example of the vintage for Russian River Valley Pinot Noir. With each vintage, our winemaking team carefully tastes through our Pinot Noir lots, selecting nine truly exceptional barrels that best express the character of the vineyards and the vintage year. The result is a Russian River Valley blend with incredible depth and complexity.

Pinot Noir Anderson Valley  2012 - $50

A challenge from vine to glass, Pinot Noir can be a notorious failure - except in tiny, cool-climate pockets of the world where its subtle brilliance is revealed. The coolest and most northern source of our appellation releases, Anderson Valley has proven to be a remarkable region for Pinot. Vineyards are just 10-15 miles from the rugged Mendocino Coast and vines struggle on steep slopes, developing complex, small berries. This fruit is unusually graceful, developing elegant blueberry and bright red cherry flavors, overlaid with delicate tea and layered floral notes.

Pinot Noir Arroyo Seco 2012 - $40

Rising from one of the world’s deepest underwater canyons outside Monterey Bay, our single estate Arroyo Seco vineyard sits in the direct path of the ocean’s relentless influence of daily fog and fierce howling winds. Our Arroyo Seco Pinot Noir is sourced from our famed Panorama Estate Vineyard and delivers abundant complexity and fruit power.

Pinot Noir Fog Veil - $40

The cool, foggy days in the Russian River Valley offer the ideal climate for Pinot Noir to reveal its brilliance. Coastal fog rolls over the vineyards each day and the fruit ripens at a leisurely pace in the moderate climate. Concentrated, small berries literally burst with flavor, wrapped up in heady spice and plush, round texture.

Pinot Noir Los Carneros - $40

Straddling the Napa/Sonoma County line, the Carneros hills roll up from the shores of the San Pablo Bay. The unique factor here is wind – a relentless cooling force that charges up the rolling hillsides. With this release, our goal is to capture Los Carneros Pinot Noir's velvety texture, ripe cherry and deep, earthy spice. For this vintage, we harvested primarily from one of our favorite Los Carneros estate Pinot Noir blocks – Ahmann – found just two miles from the bay on the Napa side of Los Carneros. Here, the constant cooling influence of wind and fog allow the fruit ample time on the vine to develop full, concentrated flavors and velvety texture. This block is planted to clones 667, Calera, Swan, 2A, Pommard and 777, which provide us with multiple layers of aromatics and complexity – particularly in this excellent growing season.

Pinot Noir Russian River Valley - $40

Pinot Noir only reveals its full brilliance in only a few small cool-climate pockets of the world. Russian River Valley happens to be one of them. With the cooling coastal fog that rolls over our estate vineyards each day, Pinot ripens at a leisurely pace. Concentrated, small berries literally burst with flavor, wrapped up in rich spice and plush, round texture.
