How's it hanging?

Glory and Defeat, that’s in the points. But the thrill is in the hangtime.

It’s the anticipation that makes the game, otherwise we’d just look at the scores in the paper the next day. What the fans want is the feeling of watching their guy leap off the boards, the feeling of a perfect spiral approaching the end zone, the feeling of that baseball starting a downward drop that might, just might, end up in the bleachers. That’s what people want. Not just a victory. A clear and magical moment to drive the point home.

Of course, there’s no real way to pack that rush into a simple glass of wine. But this Hangtime Pinot does come as close as a wine possibly can. This PN is brought to you by winemaker Tony Coltrin, who specializes in finding that perfect balance when it comes to wine, work, and play. It's something you're probably familiar with, too.

And why not? If you only cared about the final result, you’d be shooting back a cheap whisky. What you want is the ride, the dark worry that you’re witnessing a mistake dissolving into the glory from seeing a one-in-a-lifetime event. That feeling is like a fine wine, to be savored and not wasted. And Hangtime Arroyo Seco PN is a championship’s worth.

2012 Hangtime Arroyo Seco Pinot Noir, Force Canyon Vineyard 750ml 6-Pack

The grapes for Hangtime 2012 Arroyo Seco Force Canyon Vineyard Pinot Noir were on the vine for an average of 140 days, developing intense, balanced fruit flavors. Tony Coltrin aged the wine in 100% French oak barrels, 33% new, for seven months to add roundness and a zesty spice tone. A season that ensured slow and even fruit ripening produced a rich Pinot Noir with lovely rose petal aromas combined with supple blackberry and red raspberry flavors, and hints of chocolate, followed by a long, lingering finish. This is a wine with excellent acidity and balance. The tannins are soft but firm, which allows the wine to be enjoyed with a variety of meats from grilled salmon, rosemary chicken, and baked ham, to marinated lamb chops and lighter pastas

Hangtime wines demonstrate the superior quality of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir from cool-climate regions in which the grapes enjoy a long hangtime on the vine. By focusing in the winemaking process on the concentrated flavors cool-climate grapes develop, Hangtime winemaker Tony Coltrin crafts consistently delicious wines that eloquently express their appellation of origin and unique site terroir. We named this wine after a key part of viticulture – the amount of time grapes spend hanging on the vines ripening to perfection. The longer it takes to reach that peak of ripeness within the growing season, the more concentrated the fruit character emerges, resulting in a wine with distinctive & delicious varietal expression. Winemaker Tony Coltrin keeps a close eye on the clusters hanging in the vineyard in order to decide exactly how many days on the vine they need to attain complete maturity. For our 2012 Pinot Noir, that ideal number turned out to be, on average, 140 days.

Specs

Appellation: Nestled against the cool Central Coast's Santa Lucia Mountains, the Arroyo Seco AVA claims one of California's longest grape-growing seasons. Chardonnay grapes can take their time ripening, and Arroyo Seco's alluvial, gravelly and sandy loam soils, coupled with cool breezes from Monterey Bay, offer optimal growing conditions for it. This results in the slow, steady development of pure fruit balanced by natural acidity. Located in the heart of California's Monterey County, the Arroyo Seco American Viticultural Area boasts one of California's longest grape-growing seasons. Literally translated as "Dry Creek," the Arroyo Seco canyon was created long ago by the Arroyo River. Its alluvial, gravelly and sandy loam soils, coupled with cool breezes from Monterey Bay, offer ideal growing conditions, ensuring that our Pinot Noir grapes enjoy extended hangtimes and develop impressively concentrated flavors.

Force Canyon Vineyard: Featuring steep canyon walls and excellent water drainage, the Force Canyon vineyard in Arroyo Seco is an ideal location for growing high quality, concentrated Pinot Noir grapes.

Vendor Details

Hangtime

Winemaker Tony Coltrin ensures that the Hangtime wines embody the essence of Hangtime.  His winemaking philosophy focuses on developing balance and harmony in his wines, as he does in his life.

Hangtime wines have the authentic expression and laid-back approachability that can only come from the Golden State. Grapevines take deep root in the diverse soils up and down the coast of California, where vineyards are bathed by warm sun and cooled by ocean breezes. This combination develops the perfect balance between ripe flavor and bright acidity in grapes as they spend extra days—optimum hangtime—on the vine.

California Grown: From rugged mountain slopes to windswept coastal plains, from gentle, sunny foothills to foggy river valleys, California wine country is dramatic, diverse and stands among the best winegrowing regions of the world. Long, sunny days ripen wine grapes to vibrant fruit expression, while chilly nights and ocean breezes maintain their bright natural acidity. We source Hangtime wines from select spots where this combination of sunny days and cool nights slows ripening for a long, steady growing season. The longer growing season means that grape clusters spend a higher than average number of days hanging on the vine—an extended “hangtime” results in complex, perfectly balanced wines.
