1995 Lorane Valley Pinot Noir
Winemaker's Notes
This beautiful, garnet Pinot Noir displays aromas of cherry, cinnamon, plum, currants, vanilla, and oak spice. Flavors of plum, anise, and cinnamon are perfectly balanced with oak. The wine has a soft, inviting mouth feel with soft, velvety tannins, a medium body, and a smooth clean finish. Suggested retail: $9.95

Growing Season
The spring of 1995 was warm and sunny during the bloom period, resulting in excellent fruit set. Warm, sunny conditions continued throughout the summer and were abbreviated by occasional showers that helped the vines maintain a good level of vigor, thus avoiding premature vine shutdown. Professional maintenance of harvest parameters and standards, through a fall punctuated by sporadic rains, resulted in fruit that showed intense varietal character in both flavor and aroma.
