Di Tierra Vineyard's 2007 Monterey Pinot Noir offers a return to a more delicate style of Pinot Noir. The nose begins with a lovely floral and rose promise. Strawberry and Santa Rosa plum notes are balanced with a touch of rhubarb leaning to a clean and crisp finish.

- Alcohol: 14.1%
- Production: 750 cases
The wine for this blend was aged in 40% new French oak for softness and complexity and 60% second year old French oak for spiciness and vanillin character. The wine was aged ten months and racked only once, just before bottling, to retain maximum richness and fruit character. This Monterey appellation Pinot Noir is from some of the finest vineyards in Monterey County: the Silacci (90%), and Corral De Tierra Estate (10%). These vineyards exemplify how this area is ideally suited for Pinot Noir. The 2007 Pinot Noir vintage was marked by the gentle onset of harvest. It commenced on October 6th and proceeded slowly until November 20th. All picking decisions were based on ripeness of flavor, not necessity, and that is a beautiful thing.
