Benton Lane Pinot Noir 2003
Pinot Noir
from Willamette Valley, Oregon
winemaker's notes:
Benton-Lane Pinot Noir is made from 100% Estate grown grapes.
After gentle de-stemming, the grapes are given a twenty-four hour cold soak then fermented in small open top fermenters and quietly aged for ten months in a proprietary blend of French oak cooperage. The wine is then blended and bottled without filtration to preserve the silky texture and sweet cherry fruit flavors of the grape.
