Clos Camille, crafted in the Burgundian tradition is the first release of our new Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir from the Petaluma Gap area close to the San Pablo Bay.

Our 2010 Clos Camille Pinot Noir has a deep concentrated purple color. The nose is Burgundian in the style, like a wine from Pommard, with aromas of dark cherries, fresh Santa Rosa plums and violets. The tannins are ripe, round and silky, just seamless, and the all new French oak barrels have integrated well with the luscious fruit. We discover plenty of charm on the palate, with notes of brioche, toast and nice spiciness. This is certainly the most full bodied Clos Camille we have made so far. This wine drinks remarkably well right now, but has all of the elements that will allow for cellaring quite a few years.

The 2008 vintage has beautiful cherry red color where charming spice and sweet, floral aromatics waft from the glass and like in great Burgundies we find a delicate nose of violets and rose with an attractive core of ripe red fruit, with hints of torrefaction and pleasant minerality. On the palate the fruit is rich, reminiscent of baked cherries, lush and caressing all the way through to the sensual finish layered with hard candy and liqueur like notes. The wine is delicious now, but the fine tannic knit will allow for cellaring quite a few years.
