2011 DENISON CELLARS WILLAMETTE VALLEY PINOT NOIR
The 2011 Willamette Valley Pinot Noir is a blend of 777 (59%), pommard (25%), and 667 (15%) clones. Each clone contributes unique characteristics: 777 adds bright red raspberry and Bing cherry, pommard adds rose petal and structure , and 667 provides dark fruit flavors. The resulting wine has rich mid-palate volume, velvety tannins, and bright flavors of Bing cherry, cranberry and notes of vanilla that lead into a long, seamless finish.
The 667 and 777 clones were harvested on November 4th, and the pommard clone on November 11th. All of the fruit spent seven days in a cold-soak to extract color. Fermentation was completed in small, one-ton bins, and took seventeen days to complete. French oak barrels were used for aging, 25% of which were new, and the wine was bottled in December after spending 12 months in barrel. Only 90 cases were produced.

2011 DENISON CELLARS JOHNSON RIDGE VINEYARD PINOT NOIR
The 2011 Johnson Ridge Vineyard Pinot Noir is a blend of 777 (75%) and pommard (25%) clones.

The resulting wine has dense mid-palate volume, velvety tannins, and a long, seamless finish, with a hint of vanilla and spice.
The fruit was harvested on October 28th, and spent six days in a cold-soak to extract color. Fermentation was completed in small, one-ton bins, and took twenty five days to complete. French oak barrels were used for aging, 33% of which were new, and the wine was bottled in December after spending 12 months in barrel. Only 80 cases were produced.

2011 DENISON CELLARS TÊTE DE CUVÉE PINOT NOIR
Tête de Cuvée Pinot Noir is only produced when we are able to create a blend that transcends our single-vineyard wines. This was the case in 2011, when we combined the bright red fruit and initial intensity of Kiff Vineyard fruit with the dark, dense fruit and mid-palate volume of Johnson Ridge fruit. The resulting wine is balanced and complex, with bright flavors of red and black raspberries, black cherry, and a hint of minerality, which leads into rich mid-palate volume, velvety tannins, and a long, seamless finish.
The Johnson Ridge Vineyard fruit was harvested on October 28th, followed by Kiff Vineyard on November 4th. All of the fruit spent six to seven days in a cold-soak to extract color. Fermentation was completed in small, one-ton bins, and took up to 25 days to complete. French oak barrels were used for aging and the blend was created in October, after spending 11 months in barrel. Bottling was completed in December, and only 48 cases were produced.
pH: 3.70 TA: 5.1 g/L ABV: 13.5% Production: 48 cases Suggested Retail: $48
The 2011 Denison Cellars Pinot Noirs are unfined and unfiltered, and to prevent any incidence of cork taint, are bottled under a twist-off closure.
