2021 Bohème ‘English Hill’ Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast

TIW94 Medium ruby-purple in color, the 2021 Pinot Noir English Hill springs with vibrant notes of cranberry sauce, raspberries, and wild strawberries plus hints of lilac and damp soil. The medium-bodied palate has a refreshing backbone and fine-grained tannins supporting the bright fruit, finishing with an herbal lift.
Estate Notes: English Hill Vineyard grows on a gentle-sloped hilltop in southwern Sebastopol Hills, surrounded by expansive pasture and rangeland. Overlooking Russian River Valley and the Marin Coast, daily weather patterns swing dramatically between continental and maritime influences.
​2021 Pinot Noir: Five clones of Pinot Noir are planted at this site that bridges Sonoma Coast and Russian River Valley AVAs. The grapes were harvested between September 15th and 24th with an average yield of 3.1 tons per acre. English Hill Pinot Noir received tailored cold-soak and hand punch-down treatment with 25% Whole Cluster fermentation. The wine aged 22 months in 20% new French Burgundy barrels before bottling.
