JCB No 7 Pinot Noir

The JCB No 7 comes from cooler vineyard sites in the Olivet Bench, Sebastopol Hills, Petaluma Gap and Carneros. Bottled unfiltered, the wine presents as a dark burgundy color in your glass. On the nose, a bouquet of cloves and all spice, dried roses, and stewed cherries shines through. Upon tasting, complex flavors of dark plum, sun-dried cranberries, and slight oak layer upon each other to create a bold yet underlyingly bright tasting profile. These well-integrated flavors and tannins lead to its delicately balanced acidity and finish.

This wine symbolizes the time when Jean-Charles, at the age of 7, snuck a few tastes of some older Burgundies that his parents were serving at a party. For Jean-Charles, the experience not only developed his palate, but the seed was planted for his lifetime's passion and work.
