The Wine
Schug State Grown Pinot Noir 2018
In the Vineyard: The Schug Estate vineyard sits at the base of a high ridge on the windy western edge of the Carneros AVA in Sonoma County. This bottling highlights several clones of Pinot Noir grown on individual blocks, each vinified and aged separately. The weighty meatiness and smokiness of the Pommard clones in Block 8 (planted in 1989) and Block 9 (2003) is enhanced by the fruity exuberance of the Dijon clones in Block 10 (1997). A small portion of Block 4’s (1994) Martini clone rounds out the wine with a touch of soft ripe fruit. Strong afternoon winds affect these sites, resulting in small berries and slower ripening with great concentration of aroma and flavor.
In the winery: Extreme care is dedicated to the elaboration of the top Pinot Noir of this producer, with gentle aging in French oak barrels and processing designed to achieve a wine of complexity, intensity and potential to age.
On the palate: A bouquet reminiscent of roses, ripe cherries and a meaty smokiness lead to savory flavors of black cherry and plum, finishing with hints of tobacco and spicy new oak. This wine is perfect for the collector’s cellar, and will continue to age gracefully for a decade or more.
The Producer
Schug Carneros
Schug Carneros Estate Winery celebrates the 40th anniversary of its first vintage, made when a passion for Pinot Noir led patriarch Walter Schug to establish his own label and eventually leave Joseph Phelps, where he was the founding winemaker crafting wines that put Napa Valley on the map. Now the family-owned winery is entering a new chapter, with dynamic young German-American winemaker Johannes Scheid bringing modern touches to the estate’s European-styled wines.
