Ketcham Estate
Aromatics: Deep and profound with red fruits, highlighted by raspberry, strawberry, with hints of warm spice. There are the signature sassafras and mineral nuances with flint, nutmeg, and a touch of clean earth.
Palate: The palate is rich and medium/full-bodied. The layers of flavor are focused and pure. Dark red fruits including blackberries, ripe raspberries pair well with the higher toned red currant notes.

The Philosophy
Our Russian River Valley Pinot Noir is from the vines we planted when we purchased the vineyard in 2001. The pinot is predominantly Dijon clones 828, 115, 667 and 777 with a little Pommard from the old block on the vineyard as well as 10 year-old Pommard 4. This blend crafts a wine that is brighter in fruit and more approachable in its youth.
This Pinot Noir possesses the vineyard's trademark depth, intensity, power and breadth, and not at the sacrifice of nuance or complexity. It shows firm acidity, with good balance and structure. The 2009 vintage is showing more elegantly and aromatic than in years past and this wine portrays that elegance on the palate, which we think is an exciting combination. This is a delightful Pinot Noire to pair with a range of fine foods
