    Winemaker Notes

    Grapes for the Lily Pinot Noir were sourced from vineyards in The Sonoma Coast and Carneros areas of California. These vineyard sites were chosen because of their cool climates which allow for long hang-time and cause the fruit to develop complexity. This complexity is evident in the Lily Pinot Noir.

    The bouquet of this wine bursts with ripe raspberry and spice. The silky elegance of the wine coats your palate as a wide array of red fruit flavors, sweet oak and spice permeate through a balanced and lingering finish. The wine can be enjoyed as a red aperitif or it pairs extremely well with most fish dishes, chicken, duck and wild game.

    Lily, California
    The Lily wines were named after the President and C.E.O. of Billington Imports, Alex Bartholomaus', daughter. Grapes for these wines were sourced from the Russian River, Sonoma Coast and Carneros regions of California. Specific vineyard sites were chosen because of their cool climates, long hang-time and complexity of fruit. The wines represent the true artistic nature of winemaking in some of California's boutique wineries. The Lily Pinot Noir and Chardonnay represent the true character of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from these areas of the country.

    This area of California was once thought to be too cold to grow Pinot Noir. Now it's known as one of the top Pinot Noir sections of California. Recently growers have been moving out to the western outskirts of the county because they have learned that this land proves to be the best in the county with its ripe fruit and low yields.

    Thin-skinned, finicky and temperamental, Pinot Noir is also one of the most rewarding grapes to grow and remains a labor of love for some of the greatest vignerons in Burgundy. Fairly adaptable but highly reflective of the environment in which it is grown, Pinot Noir prefers a cool climate and requires low yields to achieve high quality. Outside of France, outstanding examples come from in Oregon, California and throughout specific locations in wine-producing world. Somm Secret—André Tchelistcheff, California’s most influential post-Prohibition winemaker decidedly stayed away from the grape, claiming “God made Cabernet. The Devil made Pinot Noir.”

    Home to a diverse array of smaller AVAs with varied microclimates and soil types, Sonoma County has something for every wine lover. Physically twice as large as Napa Valley, the region only produces about half the amount of wine but boasts both tremendous quality and variety. With its laid-back atmosphere and down-to-earth attitude, the wineries of Sonoma are appreciated by wine tourists for their friendliness and approachability. The entire county intends to become a 100% sustainable winegrowing region by 2019.

    Sonoma County wines are produced with carefully selected grape varieties to reflect the best attributes of their sites—Dry Creek Valley’s consistent sunshine is ideal for Zinfandel, while the warm Alexander Valley is responsible for rich, voluptuous red wines like Cabernet Sauvignon. Chardonnay and Pinot Noir are important throughout the county, most notably in the cooler AVAs of Russian River, Sonoma Coast and Carneros. Sauvignon Blanc, Merlot and Syrah have also found a firm footing here.
