Detailed Info, Previous Vintage Notes, Reviews:

Benton-Lane Pinot Noir is made from 100% Estate grown grapes.

After gentle de-stemming, the grapes are given a twenty-four hour cold soak then fermented in small open top fermenters and quietly aged for ten months in a proprietary blend of French oak cooperage. The wine is then blended and bottled without filtration to preserve the silky texture and sweet cherry fruit flavors of the grape.

The wine is made entirely from 100% Pinot Noir grapes representing five distinctive Pinot Noir clones grown on our vineyard outside Monroe, Oregon. The freshly destemed grapes receive a twenty-four hour cold soak for full color extraction followed by fermentation in small one and one-half ton fermenters to develop full flavors. During fermentation the must is punched down by hand twice a day. On reaching dryness, the grape skins are gently pressed, and the wine aged in small French oak barrels for eight months. The wine is racked twice, and receives a light filtration to soften it and accentuate its balance.

Resveratrol has been found in preliminary studies to fight breast, liver and colon cancers and is believed to play a role in the reduction of heart disease. Of all the food and wine products tested by Professor Leroy Creasy of Cornell University, the product highest in Resveratrol is Benton-Lane 1997 Oregon Pinot Noir.
