ABOUT THE VINEYARD: |
||||||||||||||||||||||||
| In the Russian River Valley and throughout northern California, 2009 will be remembered as one of the coolest vintages on record. But the sun smiled on Pinot Noir throughout the growing season and allowed for slow ripening with lovely fruit flavor development, albeit with lower-than-normal sugars. In mid-October, the vintage was marked by 5 days of torrential rains that affected any of the 15-to-20 percent of the growers who still had grapes left hanging. Fortunately, all of Peter Paul’s grapes were harvested prior to this rain. The long hang time and subsequent physiological maturity have given this vintage a mark of great elegance and finesse. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
