This vineyard is one the last to ripen of all of our Pinot's as it is the farthest west where the coastal influence of fog and cooler temperatures gives it more time to stay on the vine and develop a rich flavor profile. Processing         Selected grape clusters were hand-harvested, delivered cool to the winery, manually sorted and processed in our open-top fermenters. Our minimalist approach to making Pinot Noirs is designed to yield a wine that reflects, in both aroma and flavor profile, the location in which it was grown. Aging     The wine was drawn into 100 percent French oak barrels (nearly 35 percent of them new) soon after it was pressed. The malolactic fermentation was completed in the barrels and the wine remained on its lees in barrels for twelve months. Only selected barrels made it to the final blend, bottled in November 2006.  Further bottle ageing at our cellars is part of J's commitment to only release wines that are in balance and ready for enjoyment. Tasting Notes         This vineyard designate Pinot Noir opens with aromas of red cherry, raspberry, cinnamon and clove.  This wine displays supple tannins and a plush mouthfeel.  Ripe and generous flavors of cherry, berry, clove and cinnamon with a hint of smokiness are followed by a long and rich finish. <hr /><table cellspacing="1" cellpadding="2" border="0" bgcolor="#b9b9b9"> <tbody> <tr> <td>Appellation: </td> <td> Russian River Valley</td> </tr> <tr> <td> Harvest:</td> <td> September 21-26, 2005</td> </tr> <tr> <td> Final Analysis:</td> <td> Alcohol 14.3% by volume</td> </tr> <tr> <td> Bottling Date:</td> <td> December 12, 2006</td> </tr> <tr> <td> Production:</td> <td> 948 cases</td> </tr> </tbody> </table>                        <LI>SKU: PN05RT <LI>Volume: 750ml Other products in the category <A HREF="http://www.nexternal.com/jwine/Category17" TITLE="All Wines (For Office Use Only)">All Wines (For Office Use Only)</A>: <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/jwine/Product117 TITLE="1997 J RRV Vintage Brut, Late-Disgorged">1997 J RRV Vintage Brut, Late-Disgorged</A> -- Very Limited Production, Téte de Cuvée <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/jwine/Product155 TITLE="1998 J RRV Vintage Brut, Late-Disgorged">1998 J RRV Vintage Brut, Late-Disgorged</A> -- 92 Points by Wine Spectator, Téte de Cuvée <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/jwine/Product39 TITLE="1999 J Vintage Brut">1999 J Vintage Brut</A> -- Out of our Cellar! <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/jwine/Product156 TITLE="2000 J Vintage Brut">2000 J Vintage Brut</A> -- New Sparkling Just Released in October! <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/jwine/Product111 TITLE="2004 J Zinfandel, Russian River Valley">2004 J Zinfandel, Russian River Valley</A> -- Last of the Vintage <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/jwine/Product136 TITLE="2006 J Chardonnay, Russian River Valley">2006 J Chardonnay, Russian River Valley</A> -- 2006 J Chardonnay, Russian River Valley <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/jwine/Product142 TITLE="2006 J Pinot Noir, Barrel 16">2006 J Pinot Noir, Barrel 16</A> -- Current Release: J 2006 Pinot Noir, Barrel 16 <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/jwine/Product140 TITLE="2006 J Pinot Noir, Nonny's Vineyard">2006 J Pinot Noir, Nonny's Vineyard</A> -- Current Release: J 2006 Pinot Noir, Nonny's Vineyard <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/jwine/Product139 TITLE="2006 J Pinot Noir, Russian River Valley">2006 J Pinot Noir, Russian River Valley</A> -- Current Release: 2006 J Pinot Noir, Russian River Valley <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/jwine/Product143 TITLE="2006 J Pinotage, Russian River Valley">2006 J Pinotage, Russian River Valley</A> -- Current Release: 2006 J Pinotage, Russian River Valley <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/jwine/Product137 TITLE="2007 J Pinot Gris, Russian River Valley">2007 J Pinot Gris, Russian River Valley</A> -- Current Release: J Pinot Gris, Russian River Valley <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/jwine/Product138 TITLE="2007 J Viognier, Hoot Owl Vineyard">2007 J Viognier, Hoot Owl Vineyard</A> -- Current Release: 2007 J Viognier, Hoot Owl Vineyard <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/jwine/Product29 TITLE="J Brut Rose">J Brut Rose</A> -- J's non-vintage Brut Rosé: SF Chronicle's Top 100 Wines of 2006! <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/jwine/Product116 TITLE="J Cuvée 20 Brut NV">J Cuvée 20 Brut NV</A> -- J Cuvée 20 Brut - Perfect For All Your Fall Gatherings! <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/jwine/Product65 TITLE="Liquid Gold: Ratafia Gift Set With Glasses">Liquid Gold: Ratafia Gift Set With Glasses</A> -- The perfect set of Liquid Gold: 1 bottle of Ratafia plus two cordial glasses <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/jwine/Product6 TITLE="Ratafia">Ratafia</A> -- Our Ratafia dessert wine is the harmonious ending to a perfect meal. <A HREF="http://www.nexternal.com/jwine" TITLE="J Vineyards & Winery Products">J Vineyards & Winery Products</A> <A HREF="http://www.jwine.com">J Vineyards & Winery</A> J Vineyards & Winery Online Store powered by Nexternal <A HREF="http://www.nexternal.com" TITLE="ecommerce solutions">ecommerce solutions</A>
