About Rocklin Ranch Wines
The ancient volcanic foothills of Monterey’s coastal range, the bountiful and sunny Salinas Valley, the wind and fog from the Pacific Ocean, and the oversized rocks from the Arroyo Seco River all come together to create the unique terroir of our estate vineyards. This balance of elements allows us to craft the elegant and varietally-correct wines of Rocklin Ranch. Our name is derived from the large river rocks strewn amongst our vineyards that were deposited thousands of years ago by the Arroyo Seco River.

TASTING NOTES:
“The Rocklin Ranch Pinot Noir opens with bright aromas of ripe cherries and vibrant plums, with subtle notes of cedar and spice. Flavors of raspberries and cherry tart are highlighted by hints of clove and toasted oak. The soft tannins and supple mouthfeel lead into a lingering finish for this lush and graceful Pinot Noir.” (AbV 13.5%, pH 3.55, TA 5.7 g/L, RS 0.11%)

BARRELS:
12 months in oak
