Vintage Notes This wine is from United States, California region, Napa County sub-region and Napa Valley appellation. The focus of the Highflyer Wines is on small productions from vineyards in select locations throughout California. Winemaker Craig Becker is a pilot and has chosen vineyard spots from the air in the past, not to mention a plane makes visiting these remote vineyards sometimes easier. He sources fruit from Santa Lucia Highlands, Santa Maria Valley, Sonoma Valley, Santa Barbara and Napa Valley. This allows Highflyer to produce wines from areas best suited to growing particular varietals. Only fruit from single vineyard family owned properties are used. GRENACHE BLANC Wine
In 2010 we produced only 36 barrels of Highflyer Pinot Noir from Doctor’s Vineyard. The wine was aged for 12 months in 100% French oak, 20% of which were new barrels. This vintage shows bright fruit flavors and the purity of cool climate Pinot Noir aromatics, with tiers of concentrated young cherry, cola, raspberry jam and red plum. Fleshy and full-bodied, the finish is lingering and delicious!
