Winemaker Notes
The 2014 Russian River Valley Pinot Noir features aromas of ripe black cherry, pomegranate, and raspberry, tied together with a dollop of spicy French oak. Flavors are bright on entry, and expand broadly in the mid-palate. A dark core of fruit and spice lingers in the finish, and the wine’s balance suggests pairing with white meats and seafood, but heartier dishes will also be finely complemented.
Label Art: Designer Jeffrey Caldewey captured William Knuttel’s kin-etic wine world with Etienne-Jules Marey’s 1890 “chrono-photograph,” in which multiple exposures are superimposed to show the complete motion of “le coup d’epee.” The image meta-phorically highlights the balance, finesse, power and poise valued by the wine-maker.
