2009 Gundlach Bundschu Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir

One 750ml bottle

This Pinot Noir is sustainably farmed on Gundlach Bundschu’s Rhinefarm Estate Vineyard on the Sonoma Coast. It is rich, ripe and layered, delivering distinctive aromas and juicy flavors of fleshy black plum & fresh Bing cherries laced with dried rose petal, cardamom and ceylon tea. Silky, almost creamy texture, the smooth tannins draw fresh fruit flavors to a long elegant finish.  
 
The '09 growing season lent itself well to producing some of Gundlach Bundschu’s finest wines to date. Springtime was pleasantly warm and mild as flowering progressed, with only calm winds coming through the Petaluma gap. The heat of the spring and early summer was comfortably average as the vines developed a strong canopy. Summer and early fall progressed with moderate weather that was both a winegrower and winemaker’s dream.
