Lost Canyon 2005 Pinot Noir Las Brisas Vineyard

Winemaker Tasting Notes:
This Pinot Noir comes from the Las Brisas Vineyard located in the Los Carneros appellation. We have worked closely with Francis Mahoney, the owner, to select three clones from more than 14 planted in the vineyard. We chose Dijon 115,UCD 18, and Swan clones that provide this wine with a ruby red color, cherry notes and a hint of spice and mint. This wine is very well balance with just the right hints of oak. We produced less than 175 cases of this wine.
