The grapes for the Coventina Pinot Noir are grown from a clone known for its richness and dark fruit. These grapes have produced a Coventina wine that is one of the more substantive Pinot Noirs the vintners have seen coming from the area. The properties of the vineyard allow the grapes to come to full ripeness at moderate alcohol levels. Fruit with that much ripeness stands up well to 100% French oak barrels. To add complexity to the final product, the grapes are processed in three different types of fermenters. The different forms of fermentation clearly lead to very different wines in the barrels. Proper blending results in a layered, complex Pinot Noir.
