2008 Chamisal Edna Valley Pinot Noir

One 750ml bottle

Chamisal was the first vineyard planted in the Edna Valley in 1973 and now comprises 80 acres planted to five varieties and 25 clonal selections. Proximity to the Pacific Ocean creates a long temperate growing season with extended hang time, which combines with the calcareous, clay-rich soil to produce fruit with exceptional intensity and complex flavors. 
 
Encompassing nine different clones, the '08 Pinot Noir represents the unique terroir and quality of Chamisal’s estate vineyard. Intense aromas of dark cherry and black raspberry are intertwined with notes of cedar, bramble spice and dark chocolate that lead straight into a generous palate that echoes the dark fruit of the nose. Firm, dry tannins support the sweet, rich fruit flavors through a chewy finish laced with hints of cocoa, caramel and toasty oak.
