2013 Keller Estate ‘El Coro’ Pinot Noir

We source the fruit for “El Coro” from our highest elevation block of its namesake, which has a loam soil structure. On days when morning fog settles in the lowest spots on the property, the El Coro block is the first to be clear, refreshed by the strong winds that rush from the gap in the mountain range at the mouth of Bodega Bay. The wind roars through the Petaluma Gap, past Keller Estate and out to the San Pablo Bay. This creates a very unique microclimate not only within the El Coro Vineyard, but on the entire estate.
This complex wine shows bright hibiscus, vanilla, anise and dark cherries aromas. Forest floor, blackberry and cassis fill the pallet with a kiss of oak on the finish. Serious layered tannins round out this intense, yet delicate wine. 396 cases.
