On the palate, firm, supple tannins and lovely acid-driven energy frame the lush red and blue fruit flavors impeccably. The tight grain, medium-plus toasted barrel accentuates the luxurious mid-palate fruit, while also imparting a subtle toastiness, along with hints of coconut and sweet baking spice that add nuance and complexity to the long, voluptuous finish.
Crafted exclusively from Dijon 667 Clone Pinot Noir, the wine was aged for 10 months in a Damy-Allier tight grain, medium-plus toasted barrel.
Located just 15 miles from the Pacific Ocean, in the cool “Deep End” of the Anderson Valley, Day Ranch is planted on an alluvial terrace that abuts a mountainside. It is a wild, rustic site that consistently yields a complex, distinctive and terroir-driven expression of Pinot Noir.
