Winemaker David Fleming Notes
The 2007 West Terrace Pinot Noir was made from
Dijon 667 and 777 clones from our home estate vineyard. By combining these two clones, a wine of delicacy and structure was achieved. A complex but balanced wine, it truly expresses Pinot
Noir varietal character from the Santa Lucia Highlands.
The fruit was cold soaked for 72 hours before inoculation, in small five-ton open top fermenters. Th e must was punched down twice daily prior to pressing. After fermentation, the wine was aged for just less than a year in almost 50% new French oak barrels. We then allowed it to rest in the bottle for a full year before release.
