2007 Pinot Noir

Alma Rosa Winery
(Buellton, CA)

(Winery Info & All Wines)
Winemaker: Christian Roguenant
Positively brimming with fruity aromatics and flavors, we find this wine (made from grapes from our certified organic estate vineyards) dominated by a mix of fresh crushed berries and dark cherries, shot through with a floral-spice element and a beet-root-meets-cola essence.

The flavors, including hints of plum and currant, are enveloped in a silky mid-palate, which culminates in a long, elegant finish. The wine’s alluring perfume, rich, mid-body structure and elegantly balanced tannins suggest excellent development of flavor and complexity with additional cellaring.

Our 2006 Pinot Noir is an artful blend of five Pinot Noir clones from the acclaimed Fiddlestix Vineyard in Santa Barbara County's Santa Rita Hills.

The deep color and intense bouquet of black cherry, raspberry and wild berry are only a hint at what an extraordinary wine we have created. The richness and complexity is reminiscent of a truly exceptional Pinot Noir. We feel that because this wine is incredibly balanced, it is readily enjoyable now and will mature beautifully for years to come.

From Burghound #28, October,. 2008 "2006 Clos Pepe Estate Pinot Noir – Sta Rita Hills: (bottled at 14.5%; $56). A wonderfully complex and beguiling nose features ripe but very fresh aromas of cranberry, raspberry, earth and subtle spice notes that introduce precise, intense and balanced middle weight flavors culminating in a vibrant, precise and beautifully persistent finish that displays a hint of youthful austerity. This is really impressively pure and quite refined and I particularly like ...

This year’s release is a hypothetical blend of styles of our 2005 “Jours de Bonheur” and 2005 “Le Belier.” The resulting wine exhibits all the positive qualities of those 2005 wines—and more! A deep garnet color in the glass, the wine is brimming with fruit aromas of cherries, strawberries, and blueberries along with a pretty cherry-cola sce...

Pinot for the connoisseur. Abundant with cherry, strawberry and cinnamon stick notes on the nose, this wine showcases a classic Pinot Noir palate of red fruits, sous-bois, nutmeg and pipe tobacco. The classic acidity is harmonized with subtle tannins long into the finish. Enjoy this wine for many vintages to come. Drink now through 2010.
