The 2019 J. Lohr Fog’s Reach Pinot Noir expresses the varietal terroir of the Arroyo Seco region with blue sage and strawberry compote notes on the nose. Bright flavors of red cherry envelope the palate and leave supple cardamom spice on the lengthy finish.

Vineyard
Our CSWA Certified Sustainable Pinot Noir vineyard resides in the cool and windy enclave of the Arroyo Seco appellation of Monterey County. Comprised of two early-ripening Dijon selections of Pinot Noir (clones 667 and 777), the vines are grown on extremely well-drained, loamy sand and gravelly loam soils intermixed and underlain by large potato-sized cobblestones. The unique combination of soil, climate, and viticulture produces deeply colored Pinot Noir with refined structure and flavor.
Vintage
A consistent series of winter storms primed the Arroyo Seco AVA with 40% more rainfall than average leading into the 2019 growing season. Annual spring growth started in mid-March and was slow to develop due to cooler than normal temperatures though springtime bloom and well into summer. September was the warmest month of the year, which helped develop the ripe strawberry fruit signature that our Fog’s Reach Pinot Noir has always been known for. Yields were a modest 4 tons per acre, producing a wine with a rich structure and broad palate.
