This unique French clone of 459 was farmed by Stuart Bewley, who has been growing outstanding grapes since 1993 in Laytonville in Mendocino County. This magnificent Alder Springs Vineyard sits in isolation in a cool climate, about 150 miles from San Francisco, and 12 miles from the Pacific Ocean, with 40 + grape varieties planted in 140 areas on a 6,000-acre ranch.
The 2.6 tons of beautiful Pinot Noir from the Cahto Lake South block, which sits at a 2300-foot elevation was harvested on September 6th, destemmed 50%, the rest kept in the whole clusters. These two lots were fermented and aged separately in neutral barrels for 10 months before blending and bottling.
