WINEMAKER NOTES

Plenty of moisture in the soil from a wet winter helped feed the vines with plenty of nutrients, which allows this wine to showcase all that Southern Russian River has to offer. The aromas reveal forest floor, rose petals, and cherry cola. This medium-bodied wine evolves in the glass with each swirl, producing bright cherry tones with cranberry and a hint of mint. This wine finishes fresh and lovey.

WINEMAKING TECHNIQUES

Clusters were carefully hand-harvested at night to ensure the gentle processing of cool fruit. At the winery, the grapes underwent meticulous hand sorting and destemming, with 10% of the fruit kept as whole clusters for added complexity. Fermentation took place in small open-top bins, with hand punch downs performed twice daily. A blend of natural and cultured yeasts was used for fermentation. The final blend was carefully crafted by the winemaker, selecting the best barrels to create a harmonious expression of the wine.

FRUIT SOURCE: SUACCI VINEYARD

Suacci Vineyard is a 6.5-acre vineyard planted on south facing slopes of the Sebastopol Hills in the known Blucher Valley. In this especially cool pocket of the Russian River Valley AVA, there are short windows of heat in the midday, followed by ocean breezes which flow through the Petaluma Gap. With low yields and tiny “grenade” clusters, this vineyard consistently produces Pinot Noir with intense, complex flavors and pronounced acidity.

VINTAGE NOTES

The 2019 growing season in Sonoma County was nearly ideal, with a long winter and ample rainfall followed by a late bloom. The extended growing season allowed for longer hang times, promoting even ripening and the development of vibrant flavors. Despite the fires that year, our wines were unaffected as they were already safely stored in tank and barrel. The vintage produced exceptional grapes, resulting in high-quality wines with abundant fruit flavors and refreshing acidity.

THE WINERY

Bailarín Cellars was created in 2014 by a collective of family and friends, each following their respective passions. Together, we focus on producing small lots of handcrafted wines from unique vineyard sources. We are proud to share the fruits of our labor and love with you.
