Pinot Noir - Miron

Download Fact Sheet

Miron Vineyard is situated at the southernmost tip of Russian River Valley's sub-appellation, Green Valley. This part of the appellation lies directly in the path of the cool fog transported through the top of the Petaluma Gap. Because of the cool temperatures, Miron Vineyard is late to ripen and produces fruit with deep aromatics and flavors while maintaining precision acidity and balance. The vineyard is 3 acres and is planted to clones 667 and 115.

Aromatics:

Black tea, dried cherries and floral notes suggest a savory, elegant style.

On the palate:

Reserved yet complex, the Miron bottling shows black cherry, slight pepper, and black tea. The mid-palate is elegant with currant and dried cherry, followed by a savory, lengthy finish.
