Pinot Noir

May 27, 2016 by Corey Ameele

Pinot Noir2014 Pinot Noir

Estate Grown and Bottled
Finger Lakes

The cherry aromas and distinctive earthy character of the noble Pinot Noir grape are on full display in this elegant wine, a favorite of our winemaker Matt Cassavaugh.

Viticulture

Grape. 100% Pinot Noir

Appellation. Finger Lakes

Harvest date. October 10, 2014

Viticulture notes. Our vineyard crew performs a great deal of hand-thinning & leaf removal on our blocks of Pinot Noir grapes to open up the canopy. The thinner crop allows the vine to focus its nutrients on the primary bunches. Greater sun exposure enhances ripening and encourages tannin development.

Winemaking

Winemaker. Matt Cassavaugh

Fermentation. In stainless steel tanks at low temperature

Vintage. 2014

Alcohol by volume. 12.5%

Malolactic fermentation. Full, both sequential and co-innocated.

Aging. 14 months in oak barrels

Residual sugar. 0.1%

IRF sweetness scale. Dry

Acidity. pH 3.5, TA 6.3 g/L

Bottling date. August 25, 2016

Production. 225 cases 750mL

Vegan. Yes

Casa Larga wine series. Classic

TTB ID. 16338-001-000076

UPC. 0-89800-00244-5

Year first produced. 1979

Winemaking notes. After we harvest, crush and de-stem our Pinot Noir grapes, we maintain the juice in contact with the skins in a cooler for as long as three days. This “cold-soaking” technique, encourages the extraction of soft tannins from the skins. After pressing, the team uses the “punch-down” technique to ensure full color and flavor, to gently extract tannins and help produce a full, round mouth-feel.

Enjoying our Pinot Noir

Availability.

  • At our winery in Fairport
  • At selected wine and spirits stores

Aging. Store at cool temperature (55º-60ºF) and out of direct sunlight. Like most French Pinots, this wine is produced to be drunk relatively young, within roughly 3 years of bottling.

Serving temperature. Cool room temperature (60º-65ºF).

Tasting notes. Our lovely Pinot Noir exhibits classic cherry aromas, soft tannins, and distinctive earthiness that is characteristic of this noble variety.

Pairing suggestions. Turkey, duck, roasted or lightly smoked meats, mushroom sauces, hearty pasta dishes, goat cheese.
