News from the Line - 2006 Dundee Hills Pinot Noir!
This week on the bottling line - 2006 Pinot Noirs! We finished up bottling our 2006 Estate Cuvée Pinot Noir on Monday and spent Tuesday morning bottling our two 2006 Single Blocks - 2006 Goosepen Block Pinot Noir and 2006 Big Tree Block Pinot Noir (our innaugural bottling of this fabulous up-and-coming Pinot Noir block). All of these are made with 100% certified organic grapes from right here on our estate (which, by the way, was covered in snow this morning. Ah, Spring is in the air.)
Yesterday and today we have been bottling our 2006 Dundee Hills Pinot Noir, the largest bottling of Pinot Noir that Sokol Blosser does each year.
First, the bottles are filled with exactly 750ml, then sealed with cork.
Next, they get labels.
Lastly, they are packed up. Now the bottles are ready to be shipped out all over the world.
Did anyone else feel like we just went on a Sesame Street trip to the crayon factory? (C'mon, I know you fellow children of the 80's will catch that).
Our 2006 Dundee Hills Pinot Noir will be available for purchase in September 2008. Cheers!
