2007 Pinot Noir

In Block 4 of our home vineyard, Pinot Noir grows particularly well. Almost too well. So we bunch-thin rigorously to intensify the flavours of the remaining fruit. In fact, we let as many grapes drop to the ground as we harvest each fall. We could make more wine from Block 4, but that wine would not be as good. All our winemaking decisions get the same attention to detail as Block 4 does. And the
results show in every bottle. On that, you have our word.

Winemaker's Notes

Pinot Noir is one of CedarCreek’s signature varietals. The grapes come from our CedarCreek and Greata Ranch Vineyards, which are ideal for growing Pinot Noir. It was fermented using partial wild yeast strains in open-top fermenters and turned using “Kathunking” (turning the cap) two times each day. Aged in a combination of new and one-year old French oak, this is a wonderful Pinot Noir at a great price.

Tasting Notes

Rich garnet red colour with wild strawberry, raspberry, spice and red cherry aromas. Nutmeg, cloves and spice on palate. Soft silky tannins with a juicy lingering finish.

Culinary Notes

Recommended with fresh salmon, roast lamb, turkey, duck and pork. Pairs well with soft to medium cheeses.

90/100 POINTS

"Pinot Noir is one of the signature wines at CedarCreek, which has released 1,840 cases of this estate-grown Pinot Noir 2007 ($26.90). My tasting companion called this wine "yummy" and I had to agree. Nice and dark in colour, it has aromas of toast and cherries and raspberries, leading to flavours of cherries, raspberries, with a note of spice on the finish. The silky tannins give this that juicy finish that elicited the "yummy" comment."
