The Wines of Los Carneros

Fun Facts:

There is a word, Carneros and it means “The Ram” in Spanish. The name “Carneros,” or “Los Carneros,” is derived from the days when our region was home to sheepherders, dairy farms, fruit orchards and hayfields.+

Climate: Cool, with prevailing marine winds from the San Pablo Bay and through the Petaluma Gap to the west. High temperatures during summer rarely exceed 80°F (27°C) with less diurnal range variation.
Elevation: 15 to 400 ft. (4.6 to124 m)
Rainfall: Lowest in Napa Valley: 18 to 24 inches (7.2 to 9.6cm) annually.
Soils: Clay dominated, very shallow in general, with more loam and hillside alluvials in the northern section. Yields typically are restrained by the hard claypan subsoil, which prevents deep-rooting.++

Ziata 2009 Carneros Pinot Noir
NAP1062 Ziata Wines

This beautiful, brick-colored Pinot Noir opens up with very clean and pure aromatics. Lovely red fruit aromas of raspberry and black cherry are followed by notes of black pepper, clotted cream and sweet rose petal. As the wine opens up, it begins to show spicy layers of clove and nutmeg, then reveals an earthiness reminiscent of fallen leaves and toasty oak. 94 points WT
