NOTES: Cool breezes and morning fog characterize the climate of the George Menini Estate Vineyard, which lies within the Sebastopol Hills zone of the southwestern Russian River Valley. Ideal for cultivating premium Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, Paul Hobbs acquired this estate in 2012 and named it for the beloved former proprietor and apple farmer George Menini.
Four elongated, convex rolling hills with slopes up to 15 percent, planted to Pinot Noir and Chardonnay (Hyde wente, Hudson wente, 548, Montrachet, 72, Mt. Eden) on Goldridge sandy loam. Cane pruned, vertical shoot positioned (vsp).
Hand-harvested at night with shears only, the grapes are whole-cluster pressed while still cold from the field. The juice is barrel-fermented with indigenous yeasts, which typically takes 6 months to complete. Spontaneous malolactic fermentation occurs, then aged sur lies with bi-weekly bātonnage. The wine is aged 15months in French oak barrels; 30% new, from select coopers: Leroi, Taransaud, Billon, Louis Latour. Bottled unfined and unfiltered.
