Cuvaison’s Carneros Pinot Noir comes from our 400-acre estate in the southern part of Napa Valley. This cool climate vineyard allows near perfect conditions year after year to produce world class Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Merlot. Controlling all farming aspects within our own vineyard gives Cuvaison an advantage in producing the best quality fruit therefore minimizing over manipulation at the winery. Winemaker Steven Rogstad, sums it up best, “My style and philosophy are based on expressing the unique character of our estate grapes and doing as little as possible to them. When one has such wonderful fruit to work with, that should be one’s emphasis. ” Technical notes Wine Statistics Harvest Dates: September 7 - 15 Fermentation: 10 -15 days Fermentation Type: Hand punch down & traditional pump over Days of Skin Contact: 10 - 21 days Fermentation Temperature: Peak 92 degrees F Alcohol Level: 14. 5% pH Level: 3. 71 Residual Sugar Level: Dry Acid Level: 0. 59 grams/liter Aging Process: 9 months in small French oak barrels - 60% new Varietal Composition: 100% Pinot Noir
