The fruit for this wine was harvested on October 1st, 12th, and 16th. The fruit was gently de-stemmed by our Euro Select and dumped into various sized fermenters. After a three-day cold soak and daily pump-over’s yeasts, Rhythm, Melody, BM4x4, F83 & Champagne, were added to the individual fermenters. Fermentation ran from one to two weeks with a temperature range of 60° to 80° Fahrenheit and each fermenter received a morning and evening punch down or daily pump-over. The wines were allowed a three-day post-fermentation maceration before gentle pressing and racked to tank for Malolactic Fermentation. Following ML the wine was cold stabilized, run through our cross flow filter and bottled.

2009 Croft Vineyard Pinot Noir

"Winemaker Darcy Pendergrass crafted this highly rated Pinot Noir from fruit grown at Croft Vineyard in Oregon’s Polk County (west of Salem, Oregon). This area receives moderating marine winds through the Van Duzer Corridor – a gap in the Oregon Coast Range mountains. This is Amity’s third vineyard-designated wine from Croft. Look for superb balance throughout the wine with aromas of ripe cherry, raspberry, vanilla and earthy herbs and spices. The palate is complex with flavors of cherry, dusty herbs, vanilla and mineral." (http://www.winesnw.com)
