Description
Named for the Serpentine rock which dominates this piece of land, these are some of the best value for money wines we have found in the last few years.
Originally founded by Italian settlers in the 1880's, this vineyard has the feel of somewhere in Tuscany or Piemonte. It's the air, the trees that are planted, or the scent of rosemary planted all round the vineyard. A slice of heaven, hidden miles up a dirt track in northern Alexander Valley.
Owner Kenny Kahn has been involved for the last thirty-five years. Under his supervision they have kep this style but renewed the vineyard, nodding closely to it's Californian location as well as his own francophile wine loves. The result is a cracking fusion style that lays down well but also drinks brilliantly now.
The Estate Pinot Noir is harvested from their Gapstone estate vineyard at the heart of the Petaluma Gap, this Pinot Noir highlights the Swan, Pommard and 115 clones.
Glorious red and black fruit accompanied by a whole spice box of savory goodness, wrapped in a light-to-medium body with delicacy, intensity and flare. This is one the most approachable Pinot's we stock from California - light, beautifully made and definitely summer drinking!
