Manzana Vineyard Pinot Noir, Russian River Valley, Sonoma, 2006

:Wine Rating
:Wine Type
Planted in the Green Valley subappellation of the Russian River Valley, Manzana Vineyard is planted on a gently sloped hillside composed of Goldridge soils. The name “Manzana,” Spanish for apple, honors the area’s long heritage of apple orchards. The site produces moderately sized vines with small clusters. Cool growing conditions due to the morning fog allow the Pinot Noir to ripen slowly, developing jammy flavors and soft berries.
Harvest Notes:
The Russian River area experienced a lot of rain int he early spring and budbreak began two weeks later than typical. Warm weather in May allowed for an even flowering and set, resulting in the prospect of a bountiful crop. Good soil moisture and mild summer temperatures provided for excellent growth and ripening conditions throughout the extended season. We harvested the fruit later than normal, but the cooler and shorter days of fall brought gradual, but full ripeness.
