Villa Mt. Eden Introduces Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir
- April 26, 2011 -
Villa Mt. Eden, which celebrates 130 years of California wine production in 2011, has announced the introduction of a Sonoma Coast appellation Pinot Noir to its acclaimed family of wines. The inaugural 2009 vintage is available now nationwide at a suggested retail price of $20.
Founded in 1881 as Napa Valley’s 11th bonded winery, Villa Mt. Eden’s enduring mission has been to craft a collection of wines that showcase California’s diverse winegrowing regions and vineyards.
Sourced from four highly regarded vineyards in the Carneros, Petaluma Gap, and Russian River areas of the Sonoma Coast AVA, the 2009 Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir embodies this mission, showcasing the unique attributes of this renowned Pinot Noir-growing region with a wine that is bright and lively, with beautiful red fruit flavors.
“Along with the Russian River and Santa Maria valleys, the Sonoma Coast is one of the best Pinot regions in California,” said Villa Mt. Eden winemaker Armando De Santiago. “We feel lucky to be able to produce great Pinots from all three of these wonderful AVAs as part of our focus on the distinct terroirs of California.”
The new release also marks the launch of updated packaging, in a signature red berry color for red wines and deep linen for the Chardonnay, which will be rolled out on all of Villa Mt. Eden’s wines as new vintages are released.
