La Rochelle 2004 Pinot Noir

Vineyard Notes:
La Rochelle is a small, artisanal winery focused exclusively on the making of hand-crafted, world-class Pinot Noir from only the finest vineyard sites in California and Oregon.

At La Rochelle, living by that creed means craftsmanship at every step. In the vineyard, small blocks of only the best quality grapes are selected. In the cellar, patient matching of fermentations, cooperage, and aging allow the grapes' true nature to shine. Traditional hand-crafting. Innovative techniques. Limited production. With this artistic pedigree, the wines of La Rochelle are predestined for greatness…
