Lost Canyon 2005 Pinot Noir Dutton Ranch, Morelli Lane Vineyard

Winemaker Tasting Notes:
This wine comes from Morelli Lane Vineyard located in the Green Valley area of the Russian River Appellation. We chose to use Dijon 113,115, and Pommard clones from this vineyard. They provide the delicious fruit-forward and complex characteristics to this wine. It is deep in color and has intense notes of cherries, spice, earth, and some cedar notes that form a nice structure, long finish and balance to this wine. We produced less than 410 cases of this wine.
