Tasting Notes :
Our Riva Ranch Single Vineyard Pinot Noir is sourced exclusively from
our family’s vineyard -- in Arroyo Seco, Monterey.
Arroyo Seco is the ideal region to grow this Burgundian varietal because of the long,
cool growing season, which allows the grapes to fully ripen and develop deep fruit flavors.
The gravelly-loam soils found here, rich with shale and limestone deposits,
impart desirable earthy and mineral qualities to the wine.
We farm 8 clones of Pinot Noir (Pommard, Martini, 114, 115, 667, 777, 828, and 77),
with each offering different flavors, textures, and aromatics to the wine.
