2005 Nine Barrel
9 barrels | 225 cases | 2700 limited edition bottles

Each vintage, our winemaking team tastes through every barrel to find the nine barrels which best characterize the distinctive personality of the Russian River Valley for that particular vintage. Our Nine Barrel Chardonnay and Pinot Noir are carefully crafted from these hand selected barrels.

The 2007 vintage was cool from start to finish. Below-average temperatures, 40% less rainfall and early budbreak caused a lighter set in the vineyards, reducing the overall crop size by up to 15%. When the veraison (the beginning of the ripening cycle) process began in late July, fruit expressed the potential for excellent flavor profiles. Foggy mornings and evenings provided excellent ripening weather as harvest approached. Overall, flavor profiles for this vintage are exceptional.
