2016 Bohème Pinot Noir

Five clones of Pinot Noir are planted at this site that bridges Sonoma Coast and Russian River Valley AVA. The grapes were harvested between September 5th and 7th with an average yield of 2.03 tons per acre. English Hill Pinot Noir received cold-soak and hand punch-down treatment with 25% Whole Cluster fermentation. The wine aged 18 months in 20% new French Burgundy barrels before bottling. 13.5% Alc; 378 Cases Produced 
English Hill Vineyard is an estate-planted high-density mosaic of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Syrah surrounded by expansive pasture and rangeland. Overlooking Tomales and the Marin Coast Range, weather swings wildly between maritime and continental influences—Pacific fog engulfs the vineyard on summer mornings; afternoon breezes lift golden minerals from the ground to folds of leaves.
