Chalone-Monterey Pinot Pioneers

As one of the first wineries to recognize the great potential of Monterey County, Chalone Vineyard began making their estate wines high up on the Gavilan mountain range in 1966. This eastern range, with the Santa Lucia mountain range on the west, flanks the 150-mile-long Salinas Valley, creating a wind tunnel that brings fog and cold air from the Monterey Bay. The northern half of the valley, with the most Pacific Ocean influence, is best suited for cool-loving, temperamental Pinot Noir vines.

Winemaker's Notes

Our 2007 Pinot Noir entices the palette with silky layers of dark cherry and raspberry woven with nuances of floral and spice. These bright, expressive aromas and flavors come from grapes grown in Monterey County in California’s Central Coast American Viticultural Area (AVA). Here, cool winds slow ripening and provide the grapes with long hangtime, resulting in ripe flavors and supple tannins.
