2018 Browne Family Wines, Cirq Pinot Noir. Russian River Valley

Product description

Winery Notes: 

The 2018 growing season was special as it commemorates our first vintage from CIRQ’s new home in the heart of the Russian River Valley. It was an ideal growing season in many ways, with beautiful growing conditions. Spring was cooler than recent vintages which led to a longer bloom with consistently good fruit set and generous yields. Summer brought moderate temperatures with chilled foggy mornings and much fewer heat spikes allowing for even and extended ripening time. We delicately picked in multiple passes as we typically do to create as many small lots as possible. The resulting wine is an elegant expression of our own backyard, with refined intensity and finesse.  As usual, we focus our attention on Mother Nature and what she brings.  A powerful force indeed, and something we cherish.
