A wonderful thing about Pinot Noir is that it has the capacity to reflect the terroir of where it's grown. The French word terroir basically translates into the character of the wine. Each vintage reflects the vineyard location and weather pattern of that year. At Fotinos Brothers Winery we have one of the best vineyard locations in the Carneros wine appellation and in turn produce world class wines like our 2006 single vineyard Pinot Noir. So, the terroir or character of the wine is a product of the vineyards location, soils and microclimate for that growing season.
