Description

Jean-Charles Boisset believes that no grape demonstrates the affinity between wine and style like Pinot Noir. N°7, for example, is what the French call DEBONNAIRE – meaning it has an easy, stylish charm. But at the same time, N°7 is not a shy Pinot Noir. Its forward fruit is CHARISMATIC. And its mouth-filling, earthy flavors, coupled with its silky texture, makes it downright SEDUCTIVE.

Tasting Notes
Appearance: 

This beautiful wine presents as a dark burgundy color in your glass.

Aroma: 

On the nose, a bouquet of cloves and all spice, dried roses, and stewed cherries shines through. 

Palate: 

Upon tasting, complex flavors of dark plum, sun-dried cranberries, and slight oak layer upon each other to create a bold yet underlyingly bright tasting profile. These well-integrated flavors and tannins lead to its delicately balanced acidity and finish.

Winemaking
Vintage Notes: 

The JCB N° 7 comes from cooler vineyard sites in the Olivet Bench, Sebastopol Hills, Petaluma Gap and Carneros. Bottled unfiltered, the wine presents as a dark burgundy color in your glass.
