This unique Pinot Noir from Sculpterra Winery is truthfully a Paso Robles treasure! Hard to grow and hard to find in the Paso Robles wine region; this Pinot Noir shows the distinguished quality and splendor of ripe tastes and rich textures. The fruit was ripened in a hot summer climate giving the wine a heightened fruity characteristic. All in all, this wine was vinified into a delicate masterpiece. It tastes great young and will age gracefully. The vineyard is very distinctive, producing consistent flavors of berry pie, herbal tea, and bittersweet chocolate. The color is a shade darker than a California coastal Pinot Noir and the wine finishes with nice dimension and well-rounded aftertaste. I predict it will reach its peak taste by 2026.
Pinot Noir is assuredly the hardest wine to make, it’s a delicate varietal needing minimal oxygen exposure at the winery. Therefore, our winemaking team has developed a procedure to preserve the freshness of this grape,. Along the way we discovered an amazing new yeast strain that helps create a wonderful Pinot Noir! Yeast strain 3001 was developed in Italy, precisely made for hot climate Pinot Noirs. The yeast produces Pinot Noirs of elegantly refined textures, while highlighting the natural fruitiness of the berries. From crush, to fermentation, to pressing, to racking and barrel aging, every process of winemaking was conducted on site at our winery. This wine is a blend of three Pinot Noir lots, all harvested overnight on September 9th 2021. The final blend is 70% Pinot Noir Clone 115 and 30% Pinot Noir Clone 777. It’s easy to see the complexity in this wine and how beautifully the two clones come together.
