  • Country USA
  • Region Carneros
  • Grape 100% Pinot Noir
  • Abv 14.5%

  • The 2021 Famous Gate Pinot Noir opens with enticing cherry, blackberry, violets, and mandarin orange aromas. On the palate, sweet boysenberry is enriched by layers of pomegranate, bergamot tea, and star anise.

 

The growing season combined interesting aspects of two recent vintages. As noted above, the temperatures in 2018 tracked identically with 2011, but the vintages were markedly different due to flowering dates and crop load. The 18-crop load was similar to that in 12 on our ranches, and I think it was identical for the same reason – unchecked cell expansion after set due to prolonged cool weather. At the end of the day, we were quite lucky that we had only one rain event on the first day of October. This may have been a blessing for wineries, giving them some breathing room to open up more tanks.

13 different clones are selected to demonstrate the best that Carneros can produce. The fermentation begins with a gentle de-stemming, followed by a cold soak for five days to extract colour and aromatics. The wine is aged in a barrel for 16 months, and the final blend is racked once before bottling without fining or filtration.
