Adrian Fog Oppenlander Vineyard Pinot Noir 2011

Adrian Fog was born from the idea that Pinot Noir should have a sense of place and that the vineyard is the birthplace of great wine. All of their vineyards are selected for their individuality. By hand selecting cool climate fruit from small vineyards, Adrian Fog is able to maintain the unique signature and personality of the vineyard. Each vineyard is selected by considering the effect of coastal fog patterns, clonal differences, age and vine orientation to the sun. Picking, fermentation and barrel aging are done by keeping all clones and blocks separate. They are able to learn more and appreciate each wine's nuances and style intimately. Their bottlings are determined by the wine's individuality, the largest bottling is 230 cases and the smallest is 23 cases. Each lot is selected, blended then gravity feed to their custom designed bottling system.
