2007 Cheval Sauvage

Tasting Notes:
100% Pinot Noir

The 2007 Cheval Sauvage has beautiful Old World earthy aromas followed by an abundance of brown sugar, strawberries, and asian spices.

Vineyard Notes:
The 2007 Cheval Sauvage Pinot Noir comes from several vineyards within the Santa Maria Valley: Garey Vineyard, Bien Nacido Vineyard and Sierra Madre Vineyard. Oriented east to west, the Santa Maria Valley is influenced by the fog and coastal breezes introduced by the Pacific Ocean. This makes for a longer growing season and the ability for the vineyards to produce lower yields increasing the aptitude for concentrated fruit and even ripening. The cool climate that these vineyards experience provides the ideal growing conditions for both Chardonnay and Pinot Noir vines to thrive and consistently produce high quality fruit.

Food Pairing:
With extremely silky and lush tannins that coat the tongue from beginning to end, enjoy this exclusive Pinot Noir with grilled salmon or a tender cut of roast beef with sautéed mushrooms.
