Our friends, Bob and Toni Hopkins, have a lovely piece of land in the <a href="http://wine.appellationamerica.com/wine-region/Russian-River-Valley.html" target=_new>Russian River Valley</a> that, in addition to our Pinot, yields outstanding Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Meunier. Bob and I kicked around the idea of making Pinot Noir for several years and in 1998 it finally happened. <br><br> <span style="font-weight: bold; color: #1E347C;">Winemaker Notes:</span><br> Is there really something to the even-odd year theory? 2005 is reminiscent of '03 and '01, a little less alcohol, a little more Burgundian. If you enjoy real Pinot character, we've got it right here from the Hopkins Ranch. Bring home the wild salmon, heat the pan, a little olive oil, some shallots... <br><br> <span style="font-weight: bold; color: #1E347C;">Technical Notes: </span><br> <table style= border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <tbody> <tr> <td>Appellation:</td> <td>Russian River Valley</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Vineyard:</td> <td>Hopkins Ranch</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Varietal Content:</td> <td>100% Pinot Noir</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Fermentation:</td> <td>150 and 1250 gallon open tops, frequent punch downs with 7-15 days of skin contact</td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td>Oak:</td> <td>40% new French Burgundian oak</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Alcohol:</td> <td>13.5%</td> </tr> <tr> <td>TA:</td> <td>6.0 g/L</td> </tr> <tr> <td>pH:</td> <td>3.5</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Production:</td> <td>495 cases</td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </div> <br> <a href="http://www.nexternal.com/flatiron/?category=60" style="text-decoration: none; color: #a60000; font-weight: bold;" target=_top> Return to Nalle Wine List</a> </P> <P> <LI>Please Note: Minimum of 3 bottles on Nalle orders </P> <P><B>Other products in the winery <A HREF="http://www.nexternal.com/flatiron/Category60" TITLE="Nalle Winery">Nalle Winery</A>:</B> <BR clear=left><BR><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/flatiron/Product1083 TITLE="Nalle 2004 Reserve Zinfandel"><IMG SRC="https://store.nexternal.com/flatiron/images/Nalle_Zin-04[th].jpg" ALIGN=left ALT="Nalle 2004 Reserve Zinfandel" NAME="Nalle 2004 Reserve Zinfandel" BORDER=0 HSPACE=10></A> <A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/flatiron/Product1083 TITLE="Nalle 2004 Reserve Zinfandel">Nalle 2004 Reserve Zinfandel</A> -- <a href="http://wine.appellationamerica.com/wine-region/Dry-Creek-Valley.html" target=_new>Dry Creek Valley</a> <BR clear=left><BR><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/flatiron/Product250 TITLE="Nalle 2005 Chardonnay, Hopkins Ranch"><IMG SRC="https://store.nexternal.com/flatiron/images/Nalle_RRV-Chard-05[th].jpg" ALIGN=left ALT="Nalle 2005 Chardonnay, Hopkins Ranch" NAME="Nalle 2005 Chardonnay, Hopkins Ranch" BORDER=0 HSPACE=10></A> <A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/flatiron/Product250 TITLE="Nalle 2005 Chardonnay, Hopkins Ranch">Nalle 2005 Chardonnay, Hopkins Ranch</A> -- <a href="http://wine.appellationamerica.com/wine-region/Russian-River-Valley.html" target=_new>Russian River Valley</a> <BR clear=left><BR><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/flatiron/Product1343 TITLE="Nalle 2006 Sauvignon Blanc, Hopkins Ranch"><IMG SRC="https://store.nexternal.com/flatiron/images/Nalle_RRV-Sauvignon-05[th].jpg" ALIGN=left ALT="Nalle 2006 Sauvignon Blanc, Hopkins Ranch" NAME="Nalle 2006 Sauvignon Blanc, Hopkins Ranch" BORDER=0 HSPACE=10></A> <A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/flatiron/Product1343 TITLE="Nalle 2006 Sauvignon Blanc, Hopkins Ranch">Nalle 2006 Sauvignon Blanc, Hopkins Ranch</A> -- <a href="http://wine.appellationamerica.com/wine-region/Russian-River-Valley.html" target=_new>Russian River Valley</a> <BR clear=left><BR><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/flatiron/Product247 TITLE="Nalle 2005 Zinfandel"><IMG SRC="https://store.nexternal.com/flatiron/images/Nalle_Zin-04[th].jpg" ALIGN=left ALT="Nalle 2005 Zinfandel" NAME="Nalle 2005 Zinfandel" BORDER=0 HSPACE=10></A> <A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/flatiron/Product247 TITLE="Nalle 2005 Zinfandel">Nalle 2005 Zinfandel</A> -- <a href="http://wine.appellationamerica.com/wine-region/Dry-Creek-Valley.html" target=_new>Dry Creek Valley</a> </P> <BR clear=left><BR><P><A HREF="http://www.nexternal.com/flatiron" TITLE="Appellation America Products">Appellation America Products</A></P> <BR clear=left><BR><BR><BR><BR> <BR><A HREF="http://wine.appellationamerica.com">Appellation America</A> <BR>Appellation America <A HREF="http://www.nexternal.com" TITLE="ecommerce software">ecommerce software</A> powered by Nexternal
