The 2008 C3 is a bit of a departure from the norm. It is much darker in nature. Darker in color, much darker in fruit and also darker in its overall presence. It is a wine that I am sure will have broad appeal. The C3 sells very quickly each and every year which tells me that we have achieved our goal which is to produce a pinot noir that reflects the character of the wonderful area known as the Russian River Valley, is drinkable at an early age, and works well with food. Sadly, production was about 60% of what we produced in 2006 and about 2/3rds of what we made in 2007. As always, nothing was made to be Cuvée de Trois. It was a barrel-by-barrel selection to decide what went into the C3 and what went in the vineyard wines. All of them have to be the best wines we can make from what we have to work with. Get it while you can! 1256 cases were bottled in September of 2009.
