Loaded with bright cherry, pomegranate, cranberry, and ripestrawberry flavors this wine has a great full-bodied mouthfeelwhich combines elegance and power. The finish is smooth andpersistent leaving trademark mountain terroir.

Wine and foodpairing
A perfect complement to traditional cuisine as well as simple,lighter fare such as soft cheese, grilled and roastedmeat and vegetables; think mushroom pizza!

Grapesource
Our Pinot Noir is grown in Christian's Vineyard in the Diamond Minearea, named so in reference to the semiprecious stones referred toas "Lake County Diamonds". At 1,700 feet above sea levelChristian's is the highest vineyard block on our ranch. It isnaturally farmed, meaning we use no pesticides or herbicides and wedo not till the soil.

Vinification
The Pinot is our first red to be harvested every year and we giveit only the best treatment when the fruit arrives at the winery. Itis sorted twice, once before, and once after de-stemming; then itis transferred into one of our stainless steel tanks for a slowcool fermentation. After pressing, the wine is aged in French oakbarrels for 6 months in our cave before bottling

Releasedate
Fall 2012

Winemaker's tastingnotes
The light crop in the 2008 vintage yielded some fantastic wines;our Tempranillo is one of them. It is layered with ripe blackfruits that complement the spice, cigar box, and earthy notesdefining this wine.

Wine and foodpairing
This limited-production wine has a broad and deep mouthfeel whichpairs very well with roasted and grilled meat dishes. It is theperfect companion to traditional Tapas and Spanish Serrano hamand Manchego cheese.

Grapesource
This wine was produced from grapes grown in Diamond Mine Vineyardat Six Sigma Ranch. Located at 1,700 feet, this is the ranch'shighest elevation vineyard. It gets its name from the shiny silicaLake County "diamonds" scattered throughout the site. Thefast-draining rocky volcanic soils limit yields; this, combinedwith intense sunlight and high level UV exposure, forces the vinesto produce intensely flavored berries.

Vinification
The berries were gently crushed prior to cold-soaking for four daysat 60 F. The must fermented for 12 days with pump-overs twice aday. Following the alcoholic fermentation and a 12-day extendedmaceration, the wine aged in 100% French oak barrels for 18 months.Malolactic fermentation took place in the barrels. The wine wasneither fined nor filtered prior to bottling.
