Winemaker Notes
Located halfway between San Francisco and Los Angles, San Luis Obispo appellation is known for its east-west running valleys that pull in cool marine breezes off the Pacific Ocean. Perfectly suited for Pinot Noir, the temperatures warm up by mid-day but rarely get hot, enabling the grapes to linger on the vine and develop ripe, complex flavors. A majority of the vineyards are located in the Edna Valley where we have added new acreage, using the latest rootstocks and vineyard technologies. The growing maturity of these vineyards has added concentration and depth of flavor to our Pinot Noir wines.
2007 was a benchmark vintage in San Luis Obispo. It started off cool with moderate temperatures that continued throughout the growing season. Meticulously maintained, the vines in the valley are farmed to exacting specifications and winemakers were able to push the Pinot Noir to perfect ripeness, ultimately harvesting well into mid-September. The resulting clusters were well-developed with small berries and concentrated flavors. The 2007 Pinot Noir showcases the varietal and the superiority of the vintage in true fashion.

This pioneering winery is the result of a partnership between Chalone Wine Group and Paragon Vineyard, and defines the Central Coast appellation for which it is named. Founded in 1980 as the Edna Valley appellation's first producer of estate-grown Chardonnay, Edna Valley Vineyard also quickly established the region’s Pinot Noir credentials. While relying on artisan winemaking, Edna Valley Vineyard continues to innovate in the new millennium, introducing one of the region’s first Syrahs and—with the addition of the latest clones and trellis systems in the vineyard and a modernized, state-of-the-art winery—adding new luster to its popular mainstays.
Edna Valley Vineyard lies at the heart of the Edna Valley American Viticulture Area, established in 1982. The winery's Jack Niven Hospitality Center enables visitors to sample delicious wines amid this beautiful landscape.
