Talisman Adastra Vineyard Los Carneros Pinot Noir 2006

ITEM# TAVPN06

Varietal: 100% Pinot Noir

Viticulture & Vinfication Notes: About 25% of the grapes filled the
fermenter as whole clusters and the balance were gently destemmed as whole berries. Native fermentation began six days later and pressing occurred after 31 days in vat. The must was gently punched down from three to six times each day. The wine was barrel-aged in 60% new French oak barrels for 18 months.

Notes From The Winemaker: Notes of mineral, concentrated pure strawberry, and a subtle hint of violets comprise the aroma and provide a
hint of the flavors to follow. Silky texture and explodes into very sweet, perfectly ripe fruit and earthy minerality that adds great complexity. Overall, this wine is elegant and balanced.
