Cold Heaven

“Cold Heaven has a keen focus on cool climate Viognier. My tasting experiences from traveling yearly to the Condrieu region of France, copious tasting of California Viogniers, and experimentation with different vineyards and microclimates has led to my belief that Viognier that maintains a natural acidity is the best expression of the grape.”

Pinot Noir "Makepeace" 2010

WINEMAKER’S NOTES:

This is our first foray into Pinot Noir since 2002, when our entire crop at Le Bon Climate vineyard was lost.  The vineyard sits on the edge of the Santa Maria appellation and screams the spice and red berry fruits for which the region is so well known.  Black pepper, Bing cherries,  fraise de bois, dried rose petals, black tea all sewn up with the structure that is in classic Cold Heaven style.  This wine is just a teaser for more great Pinot Noir to come.

Reviews
(2009) (a 50/50 blend of fruit from Santa Maria Valley and the Sta. Rita Hills):  Light, bright red.  Spicy red berry aromas are complemented by white pepper, vanilla and rose.  Graceful raspberry, cherry and candied flowers on the palate, with silky tannins adding grip.  Elegant and precise pinot with excellent finishing clarity and floral-driven length.
