Siletto Vineyard

The Siletto Ranch and vineyard are due east over the coastal range from Steinbeck’s Long Valley. The limestone enriched soils and warm climate provide a great growing environment for the Pinot Noir and other varietals including Viognier.

Winemaking Notes

The fruit was harvested on August 31, 2016 and spent 3 days in cold soak prior to fermentation. The 2016 Siletto Pinot Noir was fermented to dry in slightly over 1 week and was aged in a combination of neutral and new French oak barrels. The wine was bottled on March 29, 2017.

Tasting Notes

The Siletto Pinot Noir is a delightful red wine that is a bit lighter and more approachable than some of the traditional heavy and earthy Pinots. It has developed well and is quite tasty and drinkable for a relatively young Pinot Noir.
