E16 Winery Bennett Valley Pinot Noir // Set of 3
Product Description
E16 Winery selects pinot noir and chardonnay from California vineyards graced with the optimum confluence of soil, climate and human curation. The E16 winemaking team partners with grape growers who share a commitment to sustainable viticulture and a devotion to the fruit’s inherent varietal expression. This camaraderie is woven with a passion for excellence and respect for the fundamentals of thoughtful farming to produce noble wines with a true sense of place. Each and every bottle produced by E16 Winery is a reflection of the earth that is farmed with care and dignity by our distinguished winegrowing partners.
Bennett Valley became an official AVA in 2003, five years before the development of the Bowland Ranch Block at Moaveni Vineyard and long after grape growing was introduced to the micro region in 1862. It is a surprisingly cool region, given its proximity to the ultra-warm Sonoma Mountain AVA. The wild card is the foggy marine layer that frequently moves through the Petaluma Gap (a break in the coastal range lying upwind of Bennett Valley) and later billows over Taylor Mountain like dry ice in a chemistry experiment.
Three distinct blocks of the Pommard clone are picked together at slightly different stages of ripeness and later co-fermented in one tank. The result is a field blend that represents the unique character of the diverse terrain. The 2014 E16 Pinot Noir features a cherry nose, with raspberry, lavender, and notes of hickry smoke. The black cherry mouth is balanced with vanilla cream and toasted oak. The dusty tannins give a balanced acidity with a medium body.
